Amor Est Conceptualis

By Michael André Fath

Amor est Conceptualis, is novelist Michael Andr Faths second book of verse. His debut effort, Reflections of Darkness and Light, gathered many wonderful reviews:

Simply brilliant, but brilliantly simple... will bring a smile to your face and a tear to your eye... - Thomas L. Bateman Jr.

His ability to translate a keen power of observation into prose is uncanny... - J. Gilman

...Michael's sensitive poems reveal genuine pieces of his soul, an inspirational journey from start to finish...Guaranteed to evoke emotions throughout... - Stacy Carroll

With brilliant execution, Michael Andr Fath manages to take his readers on a soulful journey of tragedy and despair, spiritual cleansing, and creative inspiration... - Bonnie Abbott

As with Reflections of Darkness and Light, his choice of 51 single-page entries were designed and crafted to concisely portray some of the various and numerous meanings of Love from a conceptual basis; hence its title. This was no easy task, as the possibilities, once reflected upon, were seemingly endless.

Lastly, Love is joy, Love is heartbreak, and everything in between. May we all be fortunate enough to experience this array, as from sorrow we gain strength and from elation we evolve...Gods plan, plainly and simply!

Girl with a Rose by Sierra Marie Fath

Dedication

I lost my younger brother Eddie nine years ago, and it nearly took me out. I can only imagine my mom’s heartbreak, he being her beloved, treasured and extremely talented son. By then dad had been gone twenty years; thus his grief was most assuredly softened and tempered by God and dad’s heavenly mates.

Of course my youngest brother Victor lost his sibling, too. However, what shattered all of my immediate family’s communal hearts, including Vic’s two daughters and mine, was the fact that Eddie’s kids would never really know their dad, as they both were so young at the time. To their mother’s credit, she has raised them to
