From their perch atop the universe, Chaos and Cosmos watch as Socrates tells philosophers what he learned from Diotima in 416 BC while simultaneously watching Sophia and Pavlos form a bond during a riot in Athens in 2022. As their stories collide the lovers experience each of the forms of love.

Agapi & Other Kinds of Love is a romance throughout space and time told in rolling verse. With an excellent rhythm and natural flow, the story expertly weaves the stories together through time. I show more enjoyed watching the two sets of lovers experience the forms of love and realize the impact that their love can have. I especially loved the notes that Chaos adds on at the end, bringing additional insight and humor.

This collection of poetry was a step outside of my comfort zone. Thus, it was a mixed bag. It took me a hot second to grasp that the concept was of re-incarnated lovers, but once that became clear, I really enjoyed the poems. It was an honest and engaging discussion of the different kinds of love described in Greek poetry through the medium it was first discussed. I enjoyed the parallels between the ancient poetry and the ones found in here.
