Now Available

Untying the Knot by Karen Paul Holmes is a memoir in poetry about the end of a long marriage and the healing process.

“… . About half the people who have ever been married would be eligible to write on the subject but very few, if any others, could with such grace, humor, self-awareness, and without a dollop of self-pity, as Karen Paul Holmes has in Untying the Knot. This is a courageous deeply human book.” –Thomas Lux

Karen Paul Holmes grew up in Michigan and has an MA in music history from the University of Michigan. She eventually moved to the warm south and worked her way into a career that involved her love of writing: She became Vice President-Marketing Communications at ING, a global financial services company. After 20-some years in the corporate world, she now leads a gentler life as a freelance writer and poet, mother of a smart adult daughter, and owner of two naughty Welsh Terriers. 

Karen finds joy participating in poetry readings and supporting poetry through the Side Door Poets group she founded/hosts in Atlanta and the Writers’ Night Out she founded/hosts in the Blue Ridge Mountains. In 2012, she received an Elizabeth George Foundation emerging writer grant for poetry. Her poetry has been published in a number of journals and anthologies, including Poetry East, Atlanta Review, Main Street Rag, Caesura, POEM, The Sow’s Ear Poetry Review, American Society: What Poets See (FutureCycle Press), and the Southern Poetry Anthology Vol 5: Georgia (Texas Review Press).
