Description
"*Contending with the Dark* is as sure a first book as I've seen this decade. Modern, quick, idiomatic, exact, it should delight connoisseurs. But that's the least of it. It offers wisdom, a person, a love story, life against death. All that the ages keep asking of the poets, anciently." —George Starbuck "[Ron Schreiber's] poems are carried through by a prosody as subtle and varied as the life itself, responding in its hesitancies and halts, in its doubts, in its sudden grasp, in its space and sweep to the thought beneath." —David Eberly, *Boston Gay Review* "Schreiber Celebrates in the midst of his pain. I sense a fine almost animal energy, a magnetism… His loving and caring are frank, never sentimental, complete." —Robert Peters, *Small Press Review*
