Review of Its Ghostly Workshop
Writer-in-Residence Ron Smith's new book, Its Ghostly Workshop, reviewed by Jeffrey Beck, Kean University. To learn more about Ron Smith, CLICK HERE. Here is a sample of the excellent review: "Its Ghostly Workshop is aptly titled: a work of haunting poetic craftsmanship. And what kind of haunting is it? Ron Smith constructs the seven sections and 45 poems in the volume deliberately to haunt—with the specters of history, poetic tradition, boyhood memory, palpable doubt, and transient pleasures. Edward Teller, Edgar Allan Poe, Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, Pauline Bonaparte, Mickey Mantle, Jesse Owens, Leni Riefenstahl, and other ghosts make their apparitions in these lyrics, which layer historical facts with poignant, present desires, and frequent allusions to artistic monuments. It is a heady haunting, always with humor and poetic skill."
