Looking for a romantic gift or just a collection of poetry related to love and work to read and enjoy yourself? IN LOVE AND WORK: POEMS may be that collection you have been searching for.
This collection of 89 poems by a husband and wife, writing separately although several of the poems are about each other, covers all types of love, from romantic love to the love of a parent, sibling, child, grandchild, pet, and friend, to work, whether that work is serving in the Navy, witnessing the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the way to work, writing, being an artist, and more. There are poems in celebration of birthdays, Valentine's Day, and wedding anniversaries. The styles of the poems range from free verse to rhyming, from solemn (The Victim) to more whimsical (Children's Day). A recent addition to the collection is Fred's poem on the occasion of their 41st wedding anniversary.

This beautiful book of poems is a peek into the lives of a loving couple. The poems are a diary of feelings before and after Fred and Jan Yager became husband and wife. Some poems are fun and light hearted, others are heart wrenching. This is the case in Fred's story of witnessing 9/11 firsthand. Reading these poems will take you through a range of emotions. In the end, you will be glad to have met the Yagers if only through their words.
