Stained Glass: Poems

Rating:
Summary: talented and studied, but incomplete
Review: I have read each of Rosanna Penn Warren's books of poetry. I can say that she has a gift, but unfortunately, that comes through with glimpses, that she allows in poems, which I actually do remember for long periods of time. There are poems that I remember, but much is overshadowed by the bookishness of many poems, in which, her visions are not brought to completion in my eyes. I do not mean bookish words, but obscure bookish stories in other languages, that are not on these pages. Truly, I do believe that Rosanna Penn Warren could be a great poet, as she does have an exquisite handle on her language and subject at times.
