The Argument
Author(s): Tracy Ryan
The unknowable is Tracy Ryan's terrain; these are poems of keen appraisal and survival demonstrating an extraordinary range and held tight by a cohesive vision. Each poem makes clear the poet's preoccupation with mortality. If the argument is with death - that cold cross-examiner - these are poems which respond with life.
Product Information
'Her "argument" is argument in the older sense of the word, a discussion of the self with the larger whole of a post-God world in which a pattern of "giving and receiving" - human, natural and impersonal - provides a richness to our lives if we have the courage to accept it.' - Dennis Haskell. 'In the best traditions of lyric poetry, her poems are supple, tough and deeply moving; they display little and reveal everything, her superb technique working a deep, unobtrusive burnish from which flashes an authentic and disturbing passion.' - Alison Croggon.
