Reviewed by Irene Watson for Reader Views (1/09)




What a wonderful book of poetry to touch the heart, deepen the spirit, and stir up the emotions! Joyce
Akesson, gifted poet and extraordinaire, puts into words not many have the talent to achieve. Her writing is
clear, profound, and creative, while at the same time poignant.
Out of the many pieces Akesson portrays in her book, it’s hard to find a favorite because I could say many are
my favorite. However, there is one that stands out in my mind, and I’ve re-read it several times; each time
getting a deeper meaning. It is:
“A Place
We should find a place
in which your freedom
and my freedom
can enjoy being together
without risking
that your light
becomes my light’s prisoner
or that my visions
become your visions’ predators.
…Each one of us
will become a soul
filled with energy;
flexible,
playful
and adventurous
with unlimited possibilities
and fantasies.
And we will love
each other’s eyes,
laughter, words,
silences, forces,
and weaknesses,
unconditionally.”
If you are a lover of poetry, I highly suggest you check out “Love’s Thrilling Dimensions” by Joyce Akesson.
I can guarantee you will be totally immersed into a world of its’ own.
