False Clues

Jeffrey Schwartz

"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

Contending with the Dark

Living Space

?Ron Schreiber's poems are clear vision; they can be literal and magical—sometimes both at once. Through his language and rhythms, his sensibility and his intelligence manage to fuse the political and the personal in a true way: I mean that he compels us to experience ourselves in the world, and to take the risks in our lives which he takes in his life and in his work.” —Dick Lourie
