About this book

"If you were to record the heartbeats of different people, you’d see that no heart beats the same. And, no two minds think the same. No souls love the same, and no two people will feel exactly the same. Love is the same. It is that calm yet fiery, passionate yet gentle, and soothing yet painful emotion that we experience (at least) once in our lives. What we think of it, how we think of it, and who we think of when we think of ‘love’ is different for all of us. Love, from a Distance, then, is is a collection of our shared lived experiences. Through several musings, poetry, and short stories, twenty-one writers have explored all that love means, and all that it shouldn’t mean at best, its worst, or at its most vulnerable."
