Love. It is a beautiful mess of complex, confusing and interconnecting emotions. For some, it means romance, for others, family. There are those who understand love as empowerment, resistance and existence; those who say it is created from nothing; and those who believe it is always there, binding the universe together, waiting for us to find it and grab on tight.

In this mesmerising collection of stories, poems and essays from the award-winning team of Sweatshop Literacy Movement, you are invited to take a journey through dingy streets and pristine sunsets, delve deep into the tormented soul, and attempt to make sense of that big crazy thing called the human heart.
