Love Conquers All: Odas y Poemas for the Aquarian Age

Carlo E. Ravin is a self-styled Aquarian Age herald, and, like his contemporaries, is dedicated to furthering the era's mandate of Knowledge for All. Like Voltaire, the author intends ultimately that nothing enfranchises like education. Love Conquers All is partly a sequel to Venus Trines at Midnight by Linda Goodman, and contains a collection of modern astrological poetry inspired by this great poet and astrologer. Often playful and puckish, at other times introspective and inquisitive, and sometimes bold and brash, the works within examine archetypal and allegorical themes, events, and characters, and, like Venus Trines at Midnight, is seeded by the word druids and guided by God/dess. Ravin muses and fuses the two languages, arts, and sciences of Astrology and of Love, to explore and to celebrate circumstance, environment, film, and literature through poetry. Love Conquers All is at once a poetic commentary on la agrodolce vita in turn-of-the-century America, a primer and study guide for the astrology student who yearns for an expansion of the boundaries of astrological expression, and a faithful companion for the knapsack of the humble 21st century traveler and troubadour...in essence, it is a book for you. Join the author in his merry and facile footnoting of a New Millennium of Truth, Beauty, Laughter, and Love, since, after all, love conquers all.
