"As Ronk notes the quotidian on its way to the sublime, be prepared for the subtle advent of the uncanny, as Sigmund Freud and Eva Hesse find uneasy consort 'in a landscape of having to repeat'"--Ann Lauterbach.
Synopsis
This collection explores the ways that a meditative lyric can address the most intimate and subtle experiences of living, while the diction remains as direct and urbane as it is multi-valenced in its range from serious to wry to confidential to questioning.
