β¦ Synopsis
Elephant Rocks, Kay Ryanβs third book of verse, shows a virtuoso practitioner at the top of her form. Engaging and secretive, provocative and profound, Ryanβs poems have generated growing excitement with their appearances in The New Yorker and other leading periodicals. Sometimes gaudily ornamental, sometimes Shaker-plain, here is verse that is compact on the page and expansive in the mind.
