5.0 out of 5 stars Love isn't the only thing that Lingers, August 18, 2002

Love Lingers is one of the tastiest poetry collections I've read in a long time. Dominique's verbal concoctions leave you wondering how in the world she came up with these images but so thankful that she did. My favorite lines include "I'm not naked, I'm in Love", and "Walked me like a mangy mutt". Grosvenor takes us head-first (or should we say heart-first)into the good, the bad, and the ugly and shows us that in life and love...it's all poetry. Dom is truly a writer's inspiration and a reader's dream. Love Lingers and so does Dom's poetry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love Lingers and dares you to return..., July 4, 2002

I absolutely love this collection of poetry by Linda Dominique Grosvenor. I've read the collection, countless times. Often I'd skip around to various selections according to how I'd felt or what was going on in my life. The book opens up with a quote from Nikki Giovanni stating that "we love because it's the only true adventure." Well, this collection for me is also like an adventure. It greets you at the door with a "Kiss" and then sends you through 109 different experiences. One poem after the other, daring you to inhale each thought, each word and feel beyond the obvious.

I have a few favorites. "Breasts" for some reason makes me imagine my lady, looking into the mirror, topless and perhaps noticing me spying her reflection. I gave the poem called "Chocolate" to her and told her that she needed to read that one and think about me. She laughed. It's also one of my favorites though. Other favorites are "Showering,"
"Honeymoon," "Kid," which got a quick laugh out of me, "King,"
"Truth," and "Yesterday." Actually, I could go on and on... My favorites in this collection truly depend on what's happening in my life.

I'd just like to thank Linda Dominique Grosvenor for creating such an insightful collection of poetry. One can tell that she is definitely in tuned and forever in touch with what Love is truly about. This book will forever remain displayed on my coffee table so others can peep it out. I think I better get a second copy, just in case...

"Like a fine wine that gets better with age so does the spicy poetry of Love Lingers. With each succulent turn of the page the reader is held captive by the words and by the possibilities."
