"...I was immediately taken by the true originality of conception, the inventive audacity, the subtlety of phrasing and vocabulary of Janet Holmes' poems. Music in these pieces becomes a metaphor, a true metaphor that cannot be paraphrased but sends out its illuminating beams over the mystery, the diaphanous continuity and utter singularity of our lives, our life. The delicacy and subtlety of her work have grown with each reading."
