Poetry. "Here are the private musings of a seasoned poet, most often over domestic realities uttered matter-of-factly," Barry Wallenstein writes. "However, these lyrics are elevated into a poetry of metaphoric potential." HOUSE AND HOME , Ratner's first full-length collection in twelve years, is definitely worth waiting for. These poems chart the poet's course as she moves from the city to a country house, from the country to a new apartment and a new relationship, trying to hold life and career in balance. As Rochelle Owens says, "The writing's great virtue is its physicality of place and time-a fusion of word and map of nature drawn by a uniquely original poet." Ratner, Executive Editor of The American Book Review, has published two novels and thirteen books of poetry.Rochelle Ratner is the author of 'House and Home', published 2003 under ISBN 9780972478526 and ISBN 0972478523.
