-Steven E. Knepper, Professor, Virginia Military Institute
Furthermore sparkles with wit and virtuosity. Among its many highlights are an ingenious meditation in the voice of Sisyphus, a self-deprecating tribute to the Book of Kells, a lovely trio of devotional lyrics, and the arresting apostrophe To Carolyn. Jane Blanchard is a wise and gifted poet.
-Robert M. West, Professor, Mississippi State University
In meters one could dance to, Jane Blanchard blesses us with poem after delightful poem in various traditional forms-sonnet, villanelle, ballad, triolet, rondeau, and more-that show her unique dexterity. And not a cold-hearted dexterity either. Each poem is infused with a full humanity that ranges in tone from Martial's tart epigrams to Blake's sweet songs of innocence. The aptly titled Furthermore reminds us there is always something else to laugh at, something else to cry over. And to be able to laugh and cry in the company of this fine poet makes the experience all the more bracing and tender. By the last pages of this collection, you will have made much more than a mere literary acquaintance. You will have made a friend.
-Paul J. Willis, Professor Emeritus, Westmont College
