Summary: 5 Stars
Love's Thrilling Dimensions
Through a variety of poems Joyce Åkesson manages to bring the different aspects of love into light. She observes the mechanisms and feelings of first love, separations, longings, passion; "This heartless thief named passion." (Passion); memories of an old love, love secrets. Moments of tenderness in a marriage; "Life is beautiful and it is warm outside." (At the Harbor Restaurant)are contrasted with memories of war, tragedies barely touched, only hinted at; "They say that the first floors are safer than second floors." (Moving backwards in time)"
And, another very moving refection on war and love and family ties:
"And I already feel sad
For the disappointment
That I shall see in your eyes
When you will figure out
That the one you miss the most
Has chosen not to return with us" (The Disappointment)
The poems move back and forth in time; recollected, tasted, relived, recreated, reconstructed in the labyrinth of memories, connected in mysterious ways, beyond time, beyond reason.
What makes a particular memory stand out and glow; what makes it so special?
Why do we make the choices we make; in love; in life?
Joyce Åkesson gives no answers, only clues; clues that will make you keep thinking ... I promise!
"Love's Thrilling Dimensions" is a fascinating collection of poems; a deep reflection on life, war, love, and the subtle mechanisms of memory and I strongly recommend it!
