5.0 out of 5 stars Life & Love, February 9, 2004

This review is from: Turn Gently My Pages (Spiral-bound)

Turn Gently my Pages is a very well written and thought provoking rendition of Life and Love. It cuts right to the chase of what each of us is ultimately looking for; To love & be loved! That's how GOD created us all. The author seems to have an inside track to the heart and mind of GOD in regards to what he meant as TRUE LOVE.

I enjoyed the book immensely, it was insightfully romantic. My husband and I read the book together. It brought back passion that had been missing in our marriage, that seemed to have diminished through the years. The book touched my soul. I highly recommend this book, it was romantic and passionate.

2.0 out of 5 stars "Turn Gently My Pages," A "Pashonate" Start, August 5, 2004

Carol A. Jackson takes you on a "pashonate" (turn on her word)journey of love & desire in her first book of poetry, "Turn Gently My Pages." The design is beautiful with spiral bound covers of varying shades of red. The covers invite you into the romantic. The pages are watermarked with the title, so the reader is enticed to do just that - turn "gently" her pages.

As for the poetry itself, it is too prosy and filled with cliches. It could stand more editing. In a few places, I questioned her choices of words. There are very few literary surprises. Her young writing is still quite predictable. The couplet, "Married Hearts, United Souls," suffers from elementary rhyme.

However, I greatly enjoyed, "My Gentlewoman." I think it is the one poem that approaches a poetic flow. "When You Lay Upon Me," is erotically hot! "It's All About You," evokes strong emotion and feeling.

For a first-time publishing, it is worth the read, for it illicits sensuality and hope for love.
