New & Selected Poems
"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 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
"I've been enjoying the insights, the lyricism,
the wry humor. My kind of book." --Seido Ray Ronci
"I have read through the volume with enjoyment,
admiration, and occasional bouts of envy."
--Fred Chappell
"What an accomplishment. It's a life in poetry. How do people process their lives without art?"
--Molly Peacock
