Poems by Martha Ronk

September 1, 2007 • 6 x 9 • 86 pages • 978-1-56689-205-6

A melancholy, visionary meditation on the mysteries and uncertainties of memory.

Melancholy and playful, analytic and lyrical, Vertigo unlocks the language of the mind’s theater as it immerses the reader in a dense realm of memory and multiple perspectives, repositioning our relations to daily life, the past, and the future.
