If you stumble over your words when you talk about love, take a lesson from Jesse Wilder. Gatherin' Emily, Jesse Wilder's new book of poems, is a collection of the most inspired, honest, head-over-heels love poems I've seen in a long time.
In Gatherin' Emily, Wilder sidesteps sentimentality and dives into the longing, the passion, and the mystery of love. But he doesn't stop there. In forty-three well-crafted poems, Jesse Wilder confronts the realities of love, too. As you turn the pages of this beautiful hardback book, you come to a deeper understanding of the way romantic love fulfills, enlightens, and binds together even as it confuses and humbles lovers.
As a poet, I respect the clean lines of these poems, the ease with which the rhymes are made, and the fresh approach Jesse Wilder takes to this age-old topic. As a woman, I recommend Gatherin' Emily as essential equipment for every man wooing a sweetheart. Speak to a woman like Jesse Wilder does, and she'll be yours forever.

Gatherin' Emily is a collection of deeply felt love poems. In its diction, Jesse Wilder's verse hearkens back to an earlier era; in its form, this poetry reminds us that rampant, passionate, emotions can be framed within structures of elegant rhythms and rhymes. These sincere expressions of a young Romantic man are sensual and serious and playful.
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
Gatherin' Emily: Poems Of The Heart is a superbly moving collection of forty-three unabashedly romantic poems by Jesse Wilder. Wilder's lyrical poetry ranges from the passionate to the playful. Tell Me: Tell me what part of me first caught your eye/that night when goodness found her home in me./What made your heart perform a double-take/and keeps you captivate to this day?/Tell me why I still paint your face a smile/with just the simplest whisper of your name/Or when we trudge all bundled through the park,/Snow's perfect blanket left in disarray./While silent flurries hug our quiet night/the fire pirouettes to pass the time,/Until I sigh and steal a glimpse at you/ to always catch you stealing one my way./Tell me that you'll know my words forever/and late at night your curve will know my joy./Then right before sleep apprehends our dreams/just tell me that your love is here to stay.
