Burton Egbert Stevenson (1872–1962) is a classic author whose works are in the public domain.

This anthology gathers verses across centuries and styles unified by their capacity to express romantic longing, heartbreak, and the small transformations love causes in how we see the world. Rather than saccharine declarations, these poems honor the complexity of desire—its beauty and its delusion, its inspiration and its danger. Volume 2 ensures you'll find unexpected voices capturing the particular ache of caring for someone.
