5.0 out of 5 stars
Breath-taking, accessible poetry,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Green Tuxedo (The Ernest Sandeen Prize in Poetry) (The Ernst Sandeen Prize in Poetry) (Paperback)
Janet Holmes has the rare ability to write layered, moving, lyrical poetry that transports the reader and allows her to think and wonder and imagine. Many of the poems deal with the beauty or sleek appearance of the surface while delving into the dirth of it just underneath. Juxtaposition also is used well. As great as her work was in "The Physicist at the Mall", an earlier collection of poetry, "The Green Tuxedo" soars to the next level of creativity.

5.0 out of 5 stars
stunning, intense, involving poetry,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Green Tuxedo (The Ernest Sandeen Prize in Poetry) (The Ernst Sandeen Prize in Poetry) (Paperback)
Janet Holmes's poetry treads the line between accessible and intense. The poems about her father and about nature and relationships are touching without being trite. If you have refused to read any poetry more modern than Frost, because it is all too confusing, here you are in for a treat. The poems and their structure well-repay multiple readings and close attention.
