Book Description
Throughout Bin Ramke’s book of poems, certain elements recur insistently: birds and boyhood, betrayal, and longings that careen between flesh and faith. The poet does not pretend to offer wisdom but instead offers words.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Within the circuits of a dark eloquence, Bin Ramke has found a way to locate a self within the bonds of history and in so doing has broken those bonds into a new ‘conspiracy of dazzle.’ If knowledge is form–and it is–here is a poetry that everywhere shows us what it knows and leads us into a stunned gratitude.” — Ann Lauterbach
