Poems such as "Torun, Torun" and "Belsen 1965" capture a world that has become too familiar again with Putin's "Special Operation" in Ukraine, and the joys and challenges of Cold War flying against the Warsaw Pact countries are captured in striking narrative metaphors.
In further poems we learn of a contrasting academic life that merges into poems of family growth and joy, the awareness of spiritual forces that have their place, and the awareness of landscape and the sea, in such poems as "The Housewrecking" and "Pyefleet Creek".
Mary Oliver wrote: I liked "Still Life," and "Love Song" and "The Lesson." You are throughout so clean and clear and rational; these three . . . I thought transcended . . . did more, lifted from gravity.
Hayden Carruth noted of Ranson's chapbook Track Made Good that it has given me considerable pleasure tonight. Especially the translations, "Pyefleet Creek," "To My Daughter" . . . you have a fine sense of the line and the way syntax moves against it, the music of words.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Store description
In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others.
