Martha Clare Ronk | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

These poems remind us that things are not always what they appear to be. Concerned with seeing things clearly, they examine what seem to be the obvious - signposts, news reports, storms, labels - as well as the not so obvious - memories, history, love. In part one, many of the speakers are lost and on the verge of careening; the poems in part two address disappearances and hallucinations. In Eyetrouble, things that ought to be there, including expected syntax and transitions, are not, and what seems clear at first glance fades in and out of focus.
