All at Once - Ridl, Jack

. .

Résumé :
A stunning poetry collection that offers solace and understanding.

Jack Ridl's latest collection, All at Once, is structured as a lyrical collage that looks back at his eighty years of life in a rearview mirror. Nothing eludes this poet's attention, reflection, or unbridled joy. Ridl's poems, written in a direct style and tender voice, bring together mismatched meditations, leading us to experience the reality that neither ourselves nor wherever we are is one-sided. These poems are musings on loss and grief, softly interwoven with devotion, human connection, and love. In the words of his daughter when she was seven years old, Daddy, 'with' is the most important word in the world because we are always 'with.' Each person reveals infinite realities of with. All at Once is for anyone in need of companionship or a gentle smile.
