description: At a time when poetry is increasingly sidelined by other literary genres, and marked as the boring piece of this tradition, Hank Okoros collection of poetry, That Line Between Love &amp; Hate Emotions, is a welcome step toward offsetting this negative response. Powered by an innocence and a sincere expression that satisfies the personal feelings of the author, the poems in this collection are designed to speak casually yet forcefully, formally yet intimately, and simply yet richly. Although these poems are an accumulation of a poetic journey that Hank has embarked upon since 1997, they represent the early ripening of a budding poet who is realizing his first experience as an independent and freethinking lyricist. This book is a must read. That Line Between Love &amp; Hate Emotions tells a story. It is a story of love, but one with subplots that prevent the trivialization of this theme. While love is celebrated, therefore, the concept is explored as resulting from a range of experiences, both uplifting and disheartening, and as embodying conflicting notions of the satisfactory and the disappointing. By the same token it is a passion that results, sometimes, in mixed emotions that are as colorful as they are challenging.
