"The book is broken into sections
which effectively chart the poet's artistic and emotional development
and, as the title suggests, the path to self-assurance and acceptance
is far from clearly marked. The majority of the poems in Practicing are
visionary to the extent of being etherial - but instead of the usual progression
from the abstract to the concrete that one observes as many poets develop
their craft, Ratner uses her ever-increasing skill and artistic poise
to push her poetry ever-farther into territories that shimmer above the
dross of the real world like so many Shangrilas." Read the retrospective review in Galatea Resurrects #7 |
