Mastery of Poetic Imagery

Reviewed by Samanthi Fernando

A sweeping journey across time, taking the reader through exotic places, to revisit and ponder on places and phases of the heart. My favorite among the collection of poems in Cherished Pulse is Carolyn's silken dream "déjà vu?" which is reminiscent of my own imaginative creations.

Tender, revealing, colorful - definite mastery of poetic imagery: Cherished Pulse, half of the poems by Carolyn Howard-Johnson and half by Magdalena Ball, is both a gift for the self as well as a unique gift to touch someone else.
