"The Green Tuxedo is a wonderful book. . . . Godspeed this book's light into the darkness that surrounds us all." —Thomas Lux". . . Janet Holmes possesses an enviable virtuosity . . . her subtle shifts of mind and canny juxtapositions delight the reader with digressions and returns, with perceptiveness and grace." —Susan Ludvigson"Janet Holmes' first book, The Physicist at the Mall, introduced us to a remarkable new voice: fiercely intelligent, buoyant with humor, alert to mysteries of language and landscape. The Green Tuxedo more than fulfills the earlier book's promise, adding to it a formal inventiveness and mastery that amazes and delights. 'The Time-Saver,' for example, has a structure as intricate as a Bach fugue's (with similar bass notes underlying it), a candor as radiant as a documentary film's, and the accruing emotional power of the best novels. If any recent book could capture a new and reluctant audience for poetry, this is it." —Tom Andrews
