Vanilla Rains

Vanilla Rains is undoubtedly a collection of well thought out verses that restore any reader's belief that poetry has come to life again. It is a collection based upon styles that transcend from Byron to Kerouac. A must read for the poetry patrons.'Jeff Holmes' poetry is like a river shedding light on darkness, illuminating life's sorrows and hopes, flowing through places with no name, but a bitter taste. Jeff writes with the simplicity of a witness, a friend, a helping hand. Each poem is like a scene from a movie whose script we know too well, the script of our lives. Like a repository for mankind's meanderings, Jeff's poems are a map to the weather of our souls. Vanilla Rains is a traveler's true friend. Wherever your next journey takes you, don't leave home without it.'Thierry KuffmannCo-author, Getting Even with Heaven
