I LOVE YOU
65 international poets united against violence against women
Gino d’Artali, Editor
full size book cover
I Love You is a selection of the poetry written in English and Spanish entered by poets worldwide to FacingFaces 2002 in Ciudad Juárez, México. I Love You is a compelling collection of poetry that often heartbreakingly reveals the pain and suffering girls and women undergo when being confronted with domestic violence and sexual abuse. It is also a book of hope, simultaneously revealing the strength victims have to overcome their abusers’ cowardliness, and showing their courage to share their stories with you.
Some poets entered more than one poem. Their contributions can be found online at
FacingFaces03.
On the FacingFaces website, you can also view artwork contributed to FacingFaces 2002 – most of which are based on a submitted poem. c.a.u.s.e.: coalition of artists united for social engagement has published a Flash edition of this book, including all of the artwork, on CD-ROM.
A generous portion of the proceeds from sales of this book will go to c.a.u.s.e. to further its projects and its partnering with local organizations committed to supporting the victims of violence against women and children and to the elimination of violence against women and children.
