That's the Way Love Goes, by Kinsley Fisher

Poetry, chapbook, 32 pages, from Bottlecap Features.

That’s the Way Love Goes is a series of poems developed throughout the past decade. Serving as a healthy outlet for expression and healing, the pieces are powerful, calm, beautiful, and at times, ugly. As the title may provide, this collection is about love. Earth-shattering love, heartbreaking love, love gone wrong, unwanted love, unfriendly love, quiet love, a heavenly kind of love, and the ultimate end goal of self-love.

These mostly fictional poems are encompassed with vulnerability and the harsh truth that love can be both good and bad. Throughout the book, the readers must come to terms with the realization that love is not always what it seems and that to discover self-love they may have to experience heartache. That’s the Way Love Goes is raw and honest, and proves that the greatest kind of love comes from within.
