Synopsis
Winner of the Vassar Miller Prize in Poetry, 1995.
The twenty-nine poems in this, Holden’s seventh poetry collection, are mainly epistemological, balancing adult desire against adult knowledge, dramatizing with painful accuracy the inevitable dissonance.

Review
The Sublime is the seventh collection of poems from Jonathan Holden, whose earlier works include American Gothic, Against Paradise and Falling from Stardom. Holden's style is stripped down and markedly unornamental; the language mimicking the rhythm and structure of conversation. The result is often quite moving, as in "Model Train," a poem about dishonesty and dissolution. "Thing by thing, they'd heaped up everything / which in retrospect sums up a life."
About the Author
Jonathan Holden is University Distinguished Professor and poet-in-residence of Kansas State University.
