Love Words pokes fun at the absurdity found in young love while setting Romance by Claude McKay. The poetry depicts scenes of passion and a vocabulary of many types of words: those of love, of madness, and of dreams. All of these words, to some degree, are sweet but senseless. There is a commentary on this truth, but the poem does not seek to reject it; instead, it can be said that young love is an essential and warm keystone of maturity.
The Wagner College Contemporary Vocal Ensemble premiere Love Words at Connor's recital "Reflections." Conducted by Roger Wesby.
