Much like Sheldon Cooper receiving Leonard Nimoy's dinner napkin, I had a few mini convulsions and acted a total, geeky fool. Yes, this is poetry written by Leonard Nimoy. I dare you to name anything more awesome.
The poems all deal with love and fragility of the human spirit. The entire book delves into our childlike spirit state and how that is a constant that can be uncovered and honored. Nimoy writes of his devotion to the woman he loves. He writes about being human. And in some instances, he hints at the trappings of fame. (Below is a video of me reading one of them called "There is in me a being little known.") Leonard Nimoy is sooo deep!
Another bonus - he also took all the photographs that appear in the book. None of them make any sense. The design and fonts in the book are so deliciously circa 1977. And the colors are all browns and golds and beiges - the same tupperware color scheme of the day.
I would recommend this book to all Nimoy fans!!! I'm not sure anyone else would get it.
Live long and prosper, my friends.
