Synopsis "Love Lines (in English)"
ABOUT THE BOOK This collection of poems spans over four decades of personal reflections and intimate memoirs. By approaching the age-old dualities of flesh and spirit as one holistic experience, these poems celebrate same-sex love as a normal, given part of life. Such a candid, refreshing outlook on life guarantees to inspire, entertain, and liberate. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Charles F. Mann, Ph.D., originally from Gloucester, MA, earned degrees from the University of Ottawa, the Boston Theological Institute/Saint John's Seminary, La Sorbonne, and l'Institut Catholique de Paris.
