Description:
"In Ronk's book, language is in the mood for mischief, while still being acutely attentive to its own unreliability. We're pulled into this sparklingly original work where ordinariness veers coolly and equivocation beguiles. These gorgeously agile poems reveal us as our never-ready and always-ready selves."--Molly Bendall, author of "Ariadne's Island"
"Ronk, in her 'looking for/ the conjunction of the past and the present, ' produces a poetry that questions the context of living, its arrangements, its decisions. Her sure-footed investigation is equaled by its prosody of progression/recursion in a particular lexicon of grace and elegance. Reader, find surprises in this lovely packet of poems."--Norma Cole, author of "Spinoza in Her Youth"
Review Quotes: "Answers questions that rise with enigmatic urgency -- why? why not? -- and the stranger in each of us... is courted passionately."--"Los Angeles Times Book Review"
