“Thicket is a masterful book. Stories, images, dreams, ideas, and elements of dailiness weave through and nestle within Janisse-Barlow’s gorgeous, and absorbing, stanzas. I read and re-read these poems, finding something new each time. As the poet herself observes: ‘Pass us over and we can slip back and forth unannounced.’” – Lynn Crawford

Melanie Janisse-Barlow is a poet and artist. Her essay poems, entitled Detroit, were listed in Best American Essays in 2013. Her painting practice includes The Poets Series — a popular portraiture series of contemporary poets.
