Summary

Poetry. "Here, finally, is a book of poetry that reads like a book! There is such adroitness of craft and sequence - each poem lit by Janet Kaplan's steady spirit of intelligence - that the reader can enter a poem of a difficult, even treacherous, nature and still experience real discovery and delight. The Groundnote moves in and out of shadow and myth, the human condition in its ringing specifics and in paradigms, but the plot of this book is one of victory, the ongoing lyric of the groundnote itself" -Kate Knapp Johnson.
