Book Title and Author Name:

Scents of Lavender: Queer Love Through the Ages –In Verse
by D. C. Wilkinson
Blurb:
Timeless and unwavering, love flows through a universal melody that echoes in every corner of the globe. Transcending borders and cultures, it sows the seeds of memories that sprout and blossom in Scents of Lavender, a collection of 25 illustrated poems that breathe life into evocative scenes where queer love proudly re-emerges from the depths of history, uncovering deep and everlasting bonds.
Each poem invites the reader to explore the narrator’s deeply personal and intimate perspective through pantheistic eyes. Written in the first person, every verse unfolds as both a reflection and a manifestation of a single universal mind and soul, drawing the reader into a shared understanding that love –in all its forms– is boundless, eternal, and permeates the cosmos.
Snippet 3:

Though they tried to vanquish us,
our love endures,
in the hearts of those
stirred by our flame
and undeterred by malice
and brutality.
From Hierocles
