Snake in the Parsonage
Once again, poet Jean Janzen leads us into her life -- colored deeply and in irrepressible light. Recipient of the prestigious Creative Writing Fellowship in Poetry from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Snake in the Parsonage includes the poems for which Jean Janzen received The Creative Writing Fellowship in Poetry from the National Endowment for the Arts. Selected by a panel of major poets. Once again Jean Janzen shows us life -- colored deeply and in irrepressible light. She finds both ecstasy and incompleteness -- while waiting, at the piano and in the halls of the old people's home, lying in the field, shrieking in the cellar, standing at the blackboard.

A poet must write a lot to turn that perfect phrase. More than one of those phrases are in this collection with many wonderful poems. Worth rereading.
