'Nearly four hundred years ago John Donne wrote, 'I am two fools, I know, / For loving, and for saying so / In whining poetry.' Nevertheless, love does have a habit of encouraging poetic composition, and while some of these effusions become great literature, most of them don't. Sincerity is no guarantee of quality and, after all, why should anyone be motivated to read someone else's 'whining' love poems? When D. H. Lawrence published his confessional collection, 'Look! We Have Come Through', Bertrand Russell remarked drily, "They may have come through but why should we look?" These poems make no attempt to provide an answer to that question. They have, over the years, come through, and you are invited to look.'
