THE PRICE OF LOVE · BOOK I

By Khalaf Jerry · New-edition relaunch

The Price of Love gathers poems shaped by confinement, separation, memory, and the stubborn persistence of love. Written with dates preserved as anchors, the collection records a period when ordinary details became charged with meaning: a phone call, moonlight, chow time, waiting, absence, and the promise of freedom. Reintroduced as Book I from High Bond Publications, this edition opens a larger poetry series about what love costs, what it survives, and what it leaves behind.

Paperback · 6 × 9 inches · from $9.99 USD
