Martin Kimeldorf is a talented poet with good story lines and very engaging imagery. 
Michael Lee Johnson
Publisher of A Tender Touch Poetry Blog

Martin Kimeldorf's poetry defies the established conventions of contemporary poetry and dares to be cosmic, original, romantic and self-expressive. His work is frequently accompanied by photographic art, and appeals to the reader's emotions and social memory.

I was touched by Martin’s collection of poetry written to his wife over the years. I'm sure others will be also.
Deborah Levine
Editor, American Diversity Report

Kimeldorf's poetry speaks to the heart. With faultless allegory, he builds images that readers identify within their own experience. While writing about the mystical, eclectic, yet eternal nature of love, however, he has the skill to insert lighthearted humor. His photographic art illustrates his words with deft delicacy.

Martin Kimeldorf’s works penetrate and shower the reader with a truism not normally found with today's poetry writers. His artful talent extends to a menagerie of art and prose giving the reader something more that just the written word. His ensemble of word and art brings about a clarity of the moment not seen in many of today’s writers

I enjoyed Martin’s perspective on life in his poem During The Morning After A Bad Week.

Not only has Martin Kimeldorf succeeded at writing some fantastic poetry for his wife, Judy, but he has also managed to dance with her through pieces like “Sociological Sweetheart,” a sort of research model for winning her over. The up-beat diction such as “foot-note-fully yours” mixed with technical “ibid” jargon sets the reader up for a humorous smooch that wins us all over. We’re of course happy to showcase Martin’s work in the Fall

Martin Kimeldorf’s beautiful photography and poetry grace our Summer Issue pages. His photograph “Tis But A Dream In Red-White-And-Blue” reminds us of our great nation’s difficulties and triumphs. His spirited and lively poetry recalls the strength and talent on which this nation was built and which will again be our calling card as we emerge from this economic downturn. I think you’ll find Mr. Kimeldorf’s poetry dedicated to Judy, his wife, sophisticated and bubbling with pure exuberance.

This delightful, often profound anthology is far more than a book of love poetry. It is a story of two people successfully joining hands and hearts across three decades of life… Many times I found myself smiling through tears, or laughing outright…as I approach my own 30th year of marriage, I will read this endearing volume again.

There is a place for poetry in everyone's life.  Martin's love poems remind us that men can still be romantics…I believe both men and women will find Martin's poems to be inspiring.

How extraordinary to find a mate that is both an anchor and a tank full of rocket fuel; someone who wipes away the tears when needed yet knows when to say "Get over it!", and shows you how!  His affections cover a wide geography. In one poem he might refer to  his wife Judy as Commander and in another as his Cookie-Hair-girl.

Martin reveals through his crystal clear poetry and prose that everyday, real-life love is the magic we make by committing not just to one another but also to the rituals of love, companionship and tenderness. This book reminds us in a beautifully touching way, how it's feasible and worth pursuing to stay in love forever.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Mr. Kimeldorf's personalized style of poems. What really entranced me was the outpouring of emotional poetry year after year to the "love of his life". I got the feeling that he would marry her "over and over, again and again".

Martin is a tireless writer, romantic poet, gifted photographer. More important; as they say, "A good man is hard to find" and Judy found one.

When Martin asked if I would assist in copy editing this book I jumped at the chance to look over this intriguing title. Martin’s poems struck a chord in me I didn’t expect.  As I read, I’d nod in agreement to his phrasing. And on occasions tears, I burst from my eyes as I read his poems aloud to my husband, my soul mate. I had to pull myself back to remember: edit first, feel later! Martin’s poems put into words what true love is: something that can last forever.
