Description
Clare Shaw's fourth collection Towards a General Theory of Love explores the complex and multifaceted nature of love through poetry. Drawing on psychology, mythology, art, and personal experience, Shaw seeks to understand the ways in which we experience love and its absence. The book is driven by a desire to comprehend the human need for connection and attachment, as well as the profound impact that early experiences can have on our lives. Through her poems, Shaw examines stories of attraction, grief, and desire, weaving together themes that are both deeply personal and universally relatable. At the heart of the collection is the character of Monkey, who serves as a symbol for the ways in which early attachments and trauma can shape us. Yet, ultimately, it is the individual's own general theory and practice of love that emerges as the most powerful force.
