A review by monalyisha
Trances of the Blast by Mary Ruefle

reflective slow-paced

3.0

Many of the poems felt personal to the point of exclusion; I struggled to connect with them. Still, there were some gems. If ever I have a Writer’s Corner, the following will be on the wall: 

 

“All things written feel a little terrified at first, 

... 

but making anything you have explored time, 

and exploring time you have created the world, 

even if it is only a little cairn of broken bricks 

at the end of the rainbow.” 

 

For these words, I’m grateful.
