“Nanna’s words heal. Her poetry is balm for the soul, a language of the heart that returns us to what matters most in life.” Cheryl Richardson, New York Times best selling American author, life coach, presenter and broadcaster.
“What can I say? Your poems help us reach inside ourselves to our essence. They help us remember who we are. They are fierce with tenderness, truth and love.” Christiane Northrup MD, Noted American visionary, writer, speaker and television personality.
“Svendsen has really thought about the essence of things, the emotional machinery of living, and there is something really appealing about her crisp and almost visionary observations. She shifts the shadows to show light, shifts the light to show shadows. There is no cleverness, no word-magic, just the offering of some cold and warming eternal truths.” Peter Thabit Jones, editor Seventh Quarry Poetry Magazine, Wales.
“Nanna is a poet and writer in the realm of consciousness. Writing on the level of Rumi her poems will floor you with how full of truth and beauty they are.” Tahnee Woolf, of Tahnee Talk Radio, Australia.
“Nanna’s poems are full of the charm of an innocent child, the passion of a feminine heart and the wisdom of the deepest soul. I am always opened and transformed by them.” Eva Sanner, author and therapist, Sweden.

“Nanna’s words are living poetry. They nourish and feed my soul. Unlike the poetry I struggled with in school, finding it too remote to be meaningful, these words describe a flow of feeling. One in which I recognize myself and my experience. They help reconnect me with my heart.” Carl Ragnar Lindstrom, Swedish/American environmental engineer, visionary, and author of feelingdictionary.com
