About For Hunger:
"In Margaret Ronda's second book of poems, For Hunger, grieving and mothering are similar labors done not in a single moment, but in the ruptures and raptures of elongated hours and shortened days. By turns both subtle and stunning, the speaker builds a house of relation, a house in which the loved one is 'a door open halfway.' This hauntingly beautiful book does not shy away from the fact that 'to love is territory and darkness'; instead, it offers itself up as a light onto this dark territory, a 'lullaby full of doors.'"
April 20, 2010: "Postcard" "Travelled inside the sea wall, gauzy net, hole..."
