Synopsis

Poetry. Rochelle Ratner, who died in early 2008, completed BEN CASEY DAYS, her twenty-third book, before her death. It is a landscape of moments in which headlines from news media are transformed into psychological snapshots with the power of lucid dreams. "It is a work of quiet genius, a cocoon that contains Ben and Ken [her husband], you and me, and the author herself, who emerges from it like a rare butterfly, one of a kind; read it and glimpse the colors of a remarkable soul"--Paul Pines. Other books by Rochelle Ratner available from SPD include BALANCING ACTS, COMBING THE WAVES, BEGGARS AT THE WALL, and HOUSE AND HOME.
