About Self-Portrait In Hospital As Camus:

"In the long line of physician-poets, this debut collection carries the freshest and most overtly philosophical voice, by turns gently surrealist, painfully realistic and stringently post-modernist. Rancy's poems take on shapes as narrow as an Arizona string-tie and as broad as a prose poem dressed as a surgeon’s operative report. Their tone is as experimental as Rae Armantrout, as mischievous as Bolano and as tender as Kay Ryan. They will entertain you and some will keep you up at night."
—Michael Salcman, M.D.
