Reviews
Rebecca Lehmann's Ringer is a beautiful book. There's something propulsive and yearning and broken with sadness in these poems. And ecstatic. And astonished. ('His eyes / were four dozen Canadian geese lifting off a late summer river, all at once.' God I love that!) And loving. And there is something that might put its foot up your ass. All made of a gorgeous racket that will probably make you gasp. By which I mean: be in the world anew. As poetry, if we're lucky, sometimes helps us to be." - Ross Gay
"What a great title! It's perfectly true-the whole book rings with surprising images and zingy word-choices, all dedicated to presenting the most mundane things in their truly astonishing particularity. Sharply attuned to issues relating to women-and the ways they've intensified in the current political climate-the work speaks with a fierce and necessary determination infused with an energy not devoid of hope." - Cole Swensen
