Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Cherished Pulse contains twenty poems which look at love from a wise, mature, sensitive perspective. Never sentimental (forget Hallmark), the poems explore love in its many guises -- cherish, longing, sensuality, and that sacred place between desire and consumation. For less than the cost of a single card, Cherished Pulse makes the perfect Valentine's Day or Anniversary gift for someone. Pair the book with a rose, and you've got the ideal gift for anyone you love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love, Un-Hallmark Style, November 9, 2009
Men are from Mars, women are from Venus, and poets live in the ether. Then again, so do greeting card companies. How many variations of "Hoping you have a Valentine's Day as special as you are" can a sane intelligent person stomach? Guys do not want to give or receive these empty Cupid cutesy cards, and here's a secret: women don't, either. Perhaps we'd better just stick with chocolate.

There is another alternative.

Award winning (and happily espoused) poets Carolyn Howard-Johnson and Magdalena Ball have teamed up with online gift-giving giant Celebration Express. Celebration will be featuring their new e-book of poetry Cherished Pulse, a book full of intense, beautiful, and unconventional poetry about love -- the kind that doesn't appear in valentines that are available at card counters. This excerpt from "Great Sky" by Magdalena Ball is raw, real and honest:

Red and white bravado may be gone
with the purple clouds
and cracked leathers
of our childhood
but hunger remains.
Don't let age blind you.
Under my crepe paper skin
lies a beating heart

Discovery

By Carolyn Howard-Johnson

After unrealized passion
my head finds the curve
of his armpit. There
where my ear presses
his warmth, a sensual sound,
cherished pulse. Not
what he wanted
but enough for me.

Cherished Pulse contains the kind of poem you'd send to a loved one if you could find something that isn't bedecked with doilies, glitter or strewn with clichéd rhymes. Cherished Pulse also contains original watercolors by an award-winning Los Angeles area watercolorist, Vicki Thomas.
