The Last American Valentine

The Last American Valentine is not a sappy, swooning love poetry anthology—it comes with bruises, bad decisions, late nights, and stories worth telling.

This wild anthology brings together poets, musicians, actors, writers, and a few beautifully questionable barflies for a celebration of love in all its messy, hilarious, heartbreaking forms. Featuring unforgettable words and striking illustrations by Richard Swift, this collection proves that love doesn’t always come wrapped in a perfect bow.

In an effort to get people to look
into each other’s eyes more,
the government has decided to allot
each person exactly one hundred
and sixty-seven words, per day.
