Review (PDF) A Lifetime Of Love: Poems On The Passages Of Life
"We are star-met. We are joined. We are blessed. We who have found each other. We are the dream of the ages. We are the hope, the desire. We are love." With this tender and contemplative collection of poetry, multifaceted poet, actor, and director Leonard Nimoy welcomes us into his world of quiet reflection and joyous love. Best known for his role as Mr. Spock in the enormously popular television and film series STAR TREK, Nimoy takes us along with him on a soul-searching journey in which he explores his innermost thoughts, feelings, and fears, exposing love's fragility, warmth, and overwhelming presence in his life. Profoundly mindful of the need all people have to love and be loved, to laugh and to cry, to give as well as to receive comfort and understanding, Nimoy displays a range of complex and varied emotions in this deeply moving compilation. His words capture the tenderness and intimacy between two people standing together, united against any hardship, searching for the light to take them to their dreams, and blessed by the pure and simple delight of having each other to hold and share life with. Written over the course of his lifetime, these poems go deep inside the mind and the heart of a very thoughtful and passionate man to reveal the unfettered happiness, unconditional acceptance, and unmistakable resolve that reside there. Wonderfully insightful and refreshingly candid, A LIFETIME OF LOVE is an enchanting portrait of a life that has been touched in every way by love. In his own words... "We are the dreamers. We are the dancers. Life is the music. Love is the song." - Leonard Nimoy

Nimoy is a gifted intellect with a wide range of interests. These poems reflect upon his life long experiences and understanding that love is the soothing balm in anyone's life. They uplift the already joyful heart and treat the broken one with gentle care and understanding. These are not great poetry, however. Rather they are impressions from a kind soul who has been grateful for a long, interesting and appreciated life. Would be that we could all reach this stage of grace and look back with such a smile.
I have several of Nimoy's books of poetry from long ago, and I was thrilled to find this one. The beauty in these poems accurately reflect a lifetime lived well. The emotions resonated in me. I highly recommend it to anyone, regardless of age or gender.
I do not have the words to do justice to this wonderful work of art, and certainly no words to do justice to Mr. Leonard Nimoy. I will say that it was quite a surprise to discover my copy had been autographed. It has been a dream of mine since I was small to meet this man. Now I have a book filled with his wisdom; one I know he held in his own hands. This means so much to me.
Most people are aware of the author's pointy ears and penchant for all things fascinating. Few know what an accomplished artist Nimoy really is. I first discovered his bent for poetry when I was in high school during the mid-70s and bought several for my mom for her birthday, as she enjoyed reading poetry from time to time. Nimoy's verbiage creates timeless visions in one's mind about the love of one person for another. I've tried to learn his style of writing, but have come to just sit back and enjoy reading the master's work instead. Now, after 30 years, I've discovered another poem series Nimoy has produced, from the time I first learned of his other talents, and couldn't wait to acquire it. I was not disappointed. I really love this particular piece. It is soothing to read and makes for quiet contemplation.
Leonard Nimoy is an honest man, of deep feeling. You can read touching poems in this book by this warm-hearted actor. You can see that love is a very important thing in his life and he takes it seriously. I recommend everybody this poetry book with all my heart.
Leonard Nimoy is such a talented person. His poetry is reflective of his life and self, deep and subjective. This was a great read and something that I look back to every once and again to remember just the way he worded a specific line or how he described a certain emotion. Im not a "keep a book" kind of person, but I probably wont sell this one. : ) Good for people who like poetry or Leonard Nimoy!
Superb. I was unaware Nimoy was writing poetry until recently. I was in awe of his work. It was very heartwarming, I was moved to tears several times. I will be selecting other works of his as well.
