Four and Twenty Author Release: Ventricle, Atrium

February 24, 2012

Ventricle, Atrium
by Gabriel Gadfly
1889 Labs

Ventricle, Atrium is a collection of love poems by Gabriel Gadfly that looks at the life cycle of love — from first meeting, to the rhythm of everyday life, to the rocky tribulations and hardships that lovers encounter, and sometimes even to the quiet end.

The love depicted in Ventricle, Atrium is not a passing fancy; rather, it is love as an enduring force, steady as a heartbeat through the best and worst that life can throw at it.

Many of the poems in Ventricle, Atrium are popular pieces that first appeared on GabrielGadfly.com. Two poems in Ventricle, Atrium, were originally published in Four and Twenty.

Ventricle, Atrium can be purchased in paperback for $8.99 and e-book for $0.99  through 1889 Labs (http://1889.ca/ventricle).

As a means of expressing our gratitude to our featured poets, Four and Twenty happily announces the release of their new books. The above content was provided by the author. It is neither a review of the book nor a paid advertisement.
