Too Long a Solitude

by James Ragan

Book Overview

A new collection from the world-renowned lyricist

Acclaimed American poet James Ragan begins this newest collection of poems by asking whether "a rope could swing us / long and light across a widening trough / of all that fails us in our lives." With these very first lines, Ragan draws readers into his world of vivid metaphor and evocative imagery, a world tinged with an aching sense of loss born of "a mind bereaved by solitude."
