""Love" Poems For Kathy: Green. Laced. Leaves." is a series of interrelated "love" poems that tell the story of troubled and obsessional love. For all poetry lovers and all those who have loved and lost, this collection will be of interest and value. Over a mere, few months, the poet Jonathan Finch wrote more than one hundred love poems for and to his femme fatale. ""Love" Poems For Kathy" is a sequence of interrelating love poems that tell the story of the poet's love and then hate for the woman who infatuated him. The poems trace the poet's early intense feelings for Katharine, but they quickly descend into a maelstrom of contradictory passions which leave the poet exhausted but creatively embroiled. The reader is free to trace the violent emotions that were born out of this love, the jealousy the poet feels for his woman's past, the negative tirades which plumb misogynistic depths, the pathetic realisation he has lost her, his plans to murder, his hallucinations, and his heartbreak. Throughout the trauma, love resurfaces weeping and is then buried once again under an avalanche of emotions that will leave the sensitive reader upset and anxious. "La belle dame sans merci" distances herself and the poet sees a man walking down a street "Where no street was, where no man was".In the 1970's and 80's, Jonathan Finch was singled out by editors and poets who published a great number of his poems in small magazines, pamphlets, and anthologies. He won prizes in British poetry competitions. When he was 33 he left the UK and has never been resident since. Reviewers have praised his previous two collections "Poems People Liked (1)" and "Poems People Liked (2)", expressing admiration for his poetic skills: "powerfully hewn poems" / "genuine, gripping, and beautiful" / "You can tell he's no amateur to poetry - every word is deliberate and meaningful".
