The We Are All Children Searching for Love

I got this book for its kitsch value. "Ooooh, poetry by Spock! My Trekkie sweetheart will love that. AND it has a title similar to a phrase I use that my sweetheart likes." I also got him the CD of the best of Nimoy and Shatner. I gave it to him as an early Christmas present, and we sat in bed reading it together. I cried because it touched so deeply the things I feel for my man and the feelings I have about innocence and love. It was simply beautiful, and totally unexpected. I now want to get more of Leonard Nimoy's writing. I highly recommend this book, especially for people in love.

This is the first book of Mr. Nimoy's poetry that I have read, and I was captivated by the first page. As the title suggests, it is a book of poems about love and the joy of childhood. It has a very friendly and sincere tone that is easy to warm up to. I only wish it was not such a short book (though it is not too expensive, so it was not unfair)! I would warn away hardened cynics though; they are likely to think the poetry too optimistic ;-).
