This is a book of poems that deals with all aspects of love; the fear of love, the longing for love, the need to be loved, the intense loneliness that accompanies the loss of the beloved. And, most importantly, the spiritual significance of love. For only if our souls can grow the wings of love can we fly up to those vertiginous heights, where truth and beauty can be fully known.

5.0 out of 5 stars He Speaks To The Heart And Soul, September 21, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Acrophobia: A Collection of Love Poems (Paperback)

Mr. Dondiego is one of those rare poets who speaks to the heart and soul of a reader. I found these verses to be both profound and elequent in their warm, lyrical quality. It's sad though, that there are so many poets whose voices are seldom heard above the maddening din of this world. For "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation."
