Grief’s Apostrophe
In this heartbreakingly beautiful book, Steven Ratiner constructs a seamles fabric of grief, weaving threads of memory, keen observation of the natural world, variations on religious tradition,and an active awareness of language… Steven Ratiner has been championing other poets for many years. This gorgeous collection of his own fine work is long overdue.
