When is a marriage like a knot? And those bumps under the
carpet in the living room – could they be whales, like the ones who live under
your shipwrecked house?
Karen Paul Holmes is the author of Untying the Knot: Poems, a
collection of 49 poems published in 2014 addressing a range of relationships
but focused on the crumbling and dissolution of a marriage. These poems speak
to deep pain, the emotional anguish that strikes at one’s very being when what
one accepted as the given in one’s life becomes the taken away. The title poem,
placed about halfway in the collection, talks of recriminations and the
personal guilt that the victim in a failed marriage can experience.
