Hold Me Tight (ePub)

Out of the ancient Outer Lands Archipelago off the American East Coast comes a captivating collection of fresh love poems for these modern times by prize-winning story writer, blogger and book maker NG Swett.

Hold Me Tight is a collection of 36 short rhyming poems that will transport you to a place of connection, appreciation and adventure. Each is a glimpse into a scene, a micro-story, and carefully chosen and arranged words from the soul of the poet and the heart of the lover.

Some of the poems soothe with soft whispering words. Some impart witty sweet nothings and remembrances. Some swing dance-like down the page, some set up barricades, and some are numbered lists. Still others are bolder declarations.

The Rhymes
The rhymes are the heartbeat of the terribly beautiful island archipelago, still alive and imparting its ancient wisdom today.
