Arborophobia, the latest collection by award-winning poet Nancy Holmes, is a poetic spiritual reckoning. Its elegies, litanies, and indictments concern wonder, guilt, and grief about the journey of human life and the state of the natural world.--49th Shelf, February 28, 2022#8 on the Calgary Herald Non-fiction bestsellers list, May 2, 2022Nancy Holmes' fluent poetic language, her clear intelligence, her deep seriousness, her playfulness, her fierceness, her elegance--all are here. Arborophobia cannot be viewed as anything less than a necessary work, and like all superb books of poetry, it's a trove of imaginative insight, a collection to keep close at hand. Russell Thornton, author of Answer to BlueFrom aching poems on dementia to the stunning, layered, multi-voiced 'A Cloth in the Wind, or Being with Julian of Norwich, ' Nancy Holmes carefully picks up sorrows and turns them, delicate, entrancing, in her hand. The voice crackles; everywhere in these poems is a mystical or metaphysical sensuality. Arborophobia is remarkable. Tim Lilburn, poet and essayist Nancy Holmes is an award-winning poet and editor, and Associate Professor in the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies at UBC Okanagan. She also collaborates on eco art projects both locally and internationally.
