On Love and Loss is a poetry collection that takes us through different moments in the author's life. These moments are bittersweet and nostalgic, liberating, and a jolt to your senses. We are sucked into a world that permits a sense of homelessness, a voice that continues to question society's rules, borders, and boundaries. The writer conveys the complexity of human emotion simply, and the frustrations of loss and love in a voice that aims to make sense of chaos. This is the first poetry collection published by Shahd Alshammari, Ph.D. As the title says, her intimate collection deals with love and loss. Throughout the different, yet closely tied poems, these themes emerge through a sometimes abstract and lyrical mode of painting an experience, a moment. Each poem is a quick glimpse into a moment that has shaped the author's perception of human relationships. Dr. Alshammari is an Assistant Professor of English literature.
