About this title

From the Inside Flap

From the back cover:

PRAISE FOR JEANNE LOHMANN'S GRANITE UNDER WATER

"...A collection of poems filled with life and insight into what really makes living matter and how one can extract the most from each moment. Her experiences have allowed her to see the truth of the smallest details of what unfolds before her, and she hands them to the reader, one by one, as if they were precious gems." --Rain City Review

"A book to treasure, that cuts near the bone and heals in the same gesture." --Ohioana

"A series of impressive free verse structures that comment on inner strength, cultural observation, and death." --"Bookwatch," The Midwest Book Review

"Underlying Lohmann's dance of connection and disconnection is her simple, careful lyricism.... [Her] free verse plays with the metrical net down, or more accurately, with the net invisibly present, held in place by the poet's ear and creative will. Her subtle control of sound and sculpted breath moves us from speech toward chant." --Terry Ehret, Calyx

"Lohmann masters many different forms of verse, and paints clear pictures of complicated emotions with carefully chosen words." --"Book Notes," Washington Poets Association
