{"product_id":"9781491796269","title":"A Play Of Mirrors","description":"In her third collection, A Play of Mirrors. Ann Holmes keeps surprising us with her way of looking at things and we enjoy wondering where her poems will take us next. They bear a touch of the surreal, as in “Visitor, ” where “Jesus barges into a friend 's shower stall ” or in “Snowbirds, ” where “a red-tailed hawk dives out of an oversize\/ page of my Audubon book. ” Her poems deftly avoid sentimentality. In “A Slice of Moonlight ”, we find her searching her “left forearm\/ for the\/indelible\/ stain of\/ invisible\/ numbers ” and in “On the Day, ” she matter-of-factly foresees the “day when today\/will not become yesterday. ” Often, she plays with form on the page, as in “Wordless, ” in which the words themselves contradict the title as they swirl down the page as if carried on a breeze. A painter as well as a poet, Holmes ’ love of art, of shapes and words, shines through this collection as she explores the sounds and meaning of words. These are brief tight poems brimming with wry humor and a lively imagination. There is no end to what interests this poet. —Peggy Heinrich, author, Forward Moving Shadows and Peeling an Orange.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eAnn Holmes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eiUniverse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eJun 30, 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e94 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\/Poetry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e149179626X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781491796269\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"iUniverse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50352345743665,"sku":"9781491796269","price":13.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781491796269__36998.jpg?v=1732299341","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781491796269","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
