Reviews from Readers

The Fountain of Trevi – Love Poems expresses the loving kindness of Ankin’s nature in a pure poetic voice that sings sweetly like a bird through joy and sorrow. The rhythm and rhyme are natural and unforced. The wild rush of sensual imagery in such poems as “Kamikaze” are unique and creatively authentic, inspired by many dreams and visions which have come to her unsought. This book is for anyone, male or female, who wants to explore romantic love in its highest form from the feminine perspective.   --Anthony Wicher

I am so amazed by the intense passion within each page of written work. The magical book Fountain of Trevi – Love Poems makes me feel that love, goodness between man and woman exists as does the Moon and the Sun. Ever so impressed by the poet’s wonderful ability to write flowing visuals with words that transpose the reader to feel the sensitive emotional journey of soul within every line. There is pure magic on every page.    --Julia Kirk

Imagine you were traveling in some far-away land and discovered a quaint little confectionary shop where every delicacy is shaped by hand from real ingredients: eggs, cream, honey, pistachios, exotic fruits and spices and sweet liqueurs, and you happily departed thence with a box of their finest assortment under your arm—that is how I think of this little treasure-book of poetry, and recommend that it would best be enjoyed the same way—savoring each tasty morsel one-by-one, in bed, with a lover.    --Huck Akin
