The Argument

The unknowable is Tracy Ryan's terrain; these are poems of keen appraisal and survival demonstrating an extraordinary range and held tight by a cohesive vision. Each poem makes clear the poet's preoccupation with mortality. If the argument is with death - that cold cross-examiner - these are poems which respond with life.
