Love and Endless Love by Lilia Marie Ellis
"In her debut microchapbook, Love and Endless Love, Ellis’ speaker explores a ‘hurt-soaked’ world and its pitfalls of wickedness and regret. The universe morphs into a cosmos that’s dark and unforgiving. And yet, despite all her ache, the speaker’s steadfast spirit remains: her love becomes a faith, a triumph, an open window. The speaker says it best: ‘I don’t believe love can go out.’ In her work, Ellis dares to see love as more than just a human emotion—love is also a way of life, a verb at its fullest, a continuous motion towards joy.”
