The Love Scrolls

About the Book

Love is a mystery-one revered yet feared-with questions always under the surface, the source of which is never quite known.  Why do we love?  How do we love?  How will we know when we’ve found our own true love?

Poet Edward Theodore Hayes explores the path of love through the story of one man and one woman destined to be together in The Love Scrolls: Love Passages, his first major work.

The Love Scrolls is an epic rhyming poem of grand proportion, filled with the magic of love and the secrets of such revealed.  It is sweeping and grand and plays on the heart and mind of readers as the love scrolls themselves play on the lives of the inhabitants of this work.

The Love Scrolls is a beautiful, heartfelt, and creative work in which lovers of love and thoughtful readers will delight.

About the Author

If you consider that love has seven stages, and the middle stage four, is the earth, this book is that fifth stage just beyond it, in the clouds.  That stage, that world of infatuation was where The Love Scrolls began, and this first book captures that world as never before.  Some of the most impassioned poems I ever wrote are here like The Violinist, Soul Mate, I Wail, and Sea Isle Serenity. 

The first poems appeared while I was studying economics at Drew University in Madison, New Jersey.  I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in economics but I wanted to learn everything so I took classes in english, art, philosophy, statistics, history, and much, much more.  But I never dreamed that one day I would need to draw on all of these subjects in writing and discovering this epic that began with this first book The Love Scrolls: Love Passages.

Before I was named the 2003 & 2005 Poet of the Year and Shakespeare award of excellence recipient, before Foreword Clarion Reviews in the first review of my works called it "an admirable feat".  Before this great quest for knowledge began I already knew the end to all the searching was in the eyes of love.  So love to me is not only the source but the destination for all our quest and discovery.  If love is the beginning and end then it is also the way.  My ultimate quest for wisdom would prove me right.  Love is the answer, it reveals the beginning and end of our journey, and every step of the way.   For that reason I resolved to write a book a year and determined that the pen of The Love Scrolls will not rest until the world realizes the same.
