There was a star overhead, a donkey in the stall to my right. A lot of bling. A lot of angst. HEADY perfume.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoughtful and perceptive reflections of life, January 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Hands (Paperback)

Jean Monahan is a very talented poet, both in the technical skill of her rhytms and metaphors, as well as in the ability to connect with the reader through her acute perceptions of the human experience.

Some of my favorites in "Hands": "Letter to Robin Silverman" (a zookeeper attacked and killed by Siberian tigers), and the series of poems in the section "Smiling as She Offers Her Awful Gift".

Since I recently have started reading poetry, I found this publication of poems by Jean Monahan to capture my interest. Her writing brings me right into her work. Brings me to understand her characters, even the inanimate ones. I felt wonderful reading poem after poem, waiting to see what comes next. My hats off to her excellent work.
