Synopsis

Chasing Beauty: A Love Story is a collection of poems exploring the distances between what we find beautiful in the world. Here, in his fourth collection, Ruddy works in formal structures, employing speakers that seek answers in nature while often addressing an unnamed “you,” to attempt to reconcile some of these distances. What are we really seeking in life? How and why do we appreciate beauty? What do we want more, love or freedom, and is one a clearer path to what we consider beautiful? Without exactly coming to any specific answers, Chasing Beauty: A Love Story brings questions of this sort to the table, offering poems as meditations on an aspect of life Ruddy has devoted himself to.
