Rondeux

by Laura Moriarty

Poetry. "Laura Moriarty's RONDEAUX is a beautiful and complex collection of writings. They seem to emerge out of one or many situations, but as if they were locations in a person's life. These situations were once narrative or are about to be so, but because of the erotic and pensive writing, the events, or the moments in which they occur, have stopped. But consideration and implication continue, a real recollection of writings. This wonderful book suggests that not all experience must disperse" -Lyn Hejinian.
