I Dreamed I Was Emily Dickinson’s Boyfriend is the latest collection of poems from Ron Koertge. The humor of the poems belies a deep poignancy and empathy for the characters who narrate or are subjects. The poems often depict very particular and situational emotions with deep roots, emotions we would never notice or remember if they hadn’t been captured in the net of whimsy. Accessible work and worthy of study by poets. Here’s the blurb from the publisher, Red Hen Press:
