State of mind
by Martha Clare Ronk
The poems in State of mind are in transit from one state of mind to another as geographies (especially Californian) slide into states of mind, statements of "fact" into memory or metaphor. Just as one necessarily defines oneself against the surrounding world of objects, so in Ronk's poetry landscape do words find meaning as they work against and in conjunction with each other.
The poems of this journey through the poet's "state of mind" build by accretion; just as the jumble of Los Angeles's famed Pico Boulevard on any afternoon defines the city's essence, so does this collection, in its linguistic construction, attempt to define its author and her world.
