An American Romance By John Lars Zwerenz / New Releases / Romance / Fiction / Amazon.com books
| |||||||||||||||
Book Description
An American Romance is the intimate story of the love between a man named Lawrence and a woman named Renee, two intelligent, intensely romantic people. They approach and discover one another gracefully, with a solemn ardor; a passion which contains both brightness and darkness. They take an unforgettable journey through love and resentment, lust and domination, rapture and blackness, and they find that forgiveness is the key to understanding. Songs of Rapture and Other Poems, included as an appendix within this book, is a mystical journey into the interior of every man and woman's heart. It speaks of things, both of gilded rays and of deep, profound shadows, which surpass the realm of all music. The poet takes the reader through the golden, sunny corners of the psyche's most wondrous daylight to the blackest regions of the human mind.

Editorial Reviews
From the Author
An American Romance takes the reader on an emotional, mental and mystical rollercoaster ride. This book was written exclusively to expose the reader to extremities of both light and darkness, love and envy, lust and domination, sanctity and madness, resentment and forgiveness. This book is purgatorial and is meant only for an adult audience.

From the Back Cover
It is a brisk winter day in Paris, France, as Lawrence Bradford takes a last long drag on his cigarette and smashes it in the ashtray. Lonely, depressed, and consumed with dark thoughts, Lawrence thinks he has nothing to live for--until he sees her.
As a beautiful young woman dressed in a pea coat crosses the boulevard in front of him, all thoughts of suicide and melancholy suddenly leave Lawrence's mind. She is familiar, as he has already seen her face in thousands of visions over the years. As snowfl akes begin to fall gently onto the sidewalk, Lawrence greets her, introduces himself, and immediately asks for her phone number. In a matter of seconds, Renee Cartwright, an American teacher in France for a conference, captures the heart of a man who only moments ago sought refuge from his pain in his poetry. As Renee and Lawrence gracefully discover one another, both fi nally reveal their internal demons, sending their relationship--and their future--on an uncertain path.
Accompanied by Songs of Rapture and Other Poems, a new collection of Zwerenz's poetry, An American Romance is an intimate story of love and the darkest regions of the human mind, as two young lovers take an unforgettable, passionate journey together through darkness, forgiveness, and hope.
John Lars Zwerenz is an American poet who is the author of Selected Poems, Mist and Flame, Visionary Wanderings, and Sonnets of Dusk and Dawn. He resides in New York City.
