"How Singular and Fine" is a collection of poems in forms ranging from traditional verse such as Italian and English sonnets, and epic and villanelle, through a wide variety of kinds of syllabic verse-- to the gloss, the imago, chant royal, paradigm, and myriad others.As it should, each poem's form serves its content; the forms are not obtrusive, and the poems glow with bumptious life and joyful experience. Lewis Turco ("The Book of Forms") says of this book, "All I can say is, Ruth Harrison is a wonderful writer who is ever inventive, often as full of song as a skylark, and always interesting." And Jean Milliken ("The Lyric") says the collection takes us into "the sunlight of a clear mind. Here we can be up close and personal with wisdom and beauty--wisdom gleaned from long life, beauty of poetic vision, and skill honed over many years."
