Why/why Not

Informationen zum Autor Martha Ronk is Irma and Jay Price Professor of English at Occidental College. Among her books are Eyetrouble (1998)! State of Mind (1995)! and Displeasures of the Table (2001). Klappentext "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 Zusammenfassung This poetry text presents a speaker caught in quandaries created by changing perspectives, fervours and locales. Why do we act one way here and another there?; Why can't a mind stay made up?; Why do we hate and love at the same time?
