In his first work, Edmund Swynford delves into what stirs all of us-failure, loss, and finding peace. A story of either the best timing or the worst, Short History of a Black Heart was written on two continents, spanning the short life of a love affair.

Short History of a Black Heart is filled with words placed in rhythms to woo, stir, entice, and ultimately, keep the heart from bleeding out by sharing the hope that heartbreak doesn't equate to doom.
