"An original voice." --W.S. Merwin "Ronnow puts some meaning back into the term 'experimental'. . .a poet who is both idiosyncratic and based in the best elements of a literary tradition." --Lewis Turco "Often experimental, political, sexual, emotional, but most of all surprising . . . a man and poet whose personal convictions and writing passion are not mutually exclusive." --Alice Osborn in Pedestal Magazine "Ronnow’s work finds 'salvation in the details'. . . New & Selected Poems/ 1975-2005 deepens and grows more interestingly rich as it progresses, and one is left with the feeling that Ronnow’s development as both a poet and a man is ongoing. May this be said of all of us." Christy Corp-Minamiji for Blogcritics "Very rich reading." --Naomi Shihab Nye "Wild and restless." --Sandra Alcosser "Alive and moving." --Lanie Shanzyra Rebancos "I have read its pages taking pleasure in their breadth of knowledge and their singing both." --Jane Hirshfield "Has what Frank O'Hara called 'a dry eye' with all its attendant wit, speed and brain drive." --Roger Mitchell "It sits at my place at table and I dip into it regularly." --Tom Disch "I admire this book very much." --David Ray "An impressive book . . . especially the long final section, which opens up in a lot of interesting ways." --Charles North "There are so many poems here I 'recognize' and value for one virtue or another: honesty, simplicity of statement that coexists with complexity of intent, and a clear commitment to speak to the reader." --Rhina P. Espaillat |
