Synopsis
Winner of the 2012 Cinnamon Press Poetry Award
Includes Anthem at Morning , chosen for the 2014 Forward Book of Poetry. If you give this work the space it needs, and the time it deserves, it will reward you greatly [...] Ragg allows the poet s voice to carry its secrets, and sometimes, that is all we would want [...] It is meticulous, crafted poetry. - S. J. Holloway
Perhaps the most important feature of Ragg s poetry is the movement of strong enjambment that carries a feeling of thought taking place [...] I want to note the lovely intricacy of the idea of portraiture in Arriving on the Scene and the great love poem If Only that personalizes purpose and possibility. - Charles Altieri
