About this Item
Handsewn poetry chapbook (21.5 x 14cm), lilac free endpapers, 4pp (tp, biographical detail, dedication), 20pp, 4pp (blank, colophon), light grey paper covers with blue lettering, cover design and binding by Anda Sheinkopf. Signed by Baaz on title page. Ronald Baatz is a poet I discovered when cataloguing Billy Jone's library of poetry chapbooks. He lives in Troy (upstate New York) with his wife Anda and is known for never providing biographical notes beyond this, preferring his poetry to speak for itself. I recently came across a review of his work that resonates: "Often when I think of his work, the word delicacy comes to mind, not just in execution or image, but a certain delicacy of feeling, more implied than stated, running just beneath the surface." (Issa's Untidy Hut, The Liliput Review Blogspot, 2012). The reviewer goes on to describe experiencing a lump in his throat on successive readings of one particular poem. Baatz has this capacity to go gently to the heart of things, drawing the reader from quiet contemplation to amusement to upwelling tears and back again. Seller Inventory # 703

Store Description
Our books are all in good reading condition unless otherwise described. Ordering books sight unseen is risky so we undertake to deliver accurately described books. If you are not satisfied return the book immediately by return mail and we will credit your account for the full amount minus postage.
The shipping prices quoted on ABEBooks reflect what we have found to be the "average book". Of course in reality there are many books that do not weigh what an "average book" weighs so there are times when we need to requote shipping, just as there are times when we are in position to refund some of the shipping. Please rest assured we try to get your order to you for a reasonable price, as quickly and as well packed (we carefully pack all of our parcels in book boxes) as possible.
