Green Shaded Lamps
Cornelia Veenendaal
"...greenness is ambiguous here: the poems themselves are like green shaded lamps, their vitality obscuring, in a matter essentially and necessarily human,
what might otherwise be pure light."
—Martha Collins, Sojourner
"The poems...are exhilarating in their sureness: the rhythms varied, but invariably satisfying; the voice mature; the diction flawless without being
predictable."
—Gary Miranda
