The Long Journey Out

Arts & Literature

“The poems in Ronald Okuaki Lieber’s first book create narrative richness of diverse worlds. His poems find the motion in stillness and the sound in silence and the light in darkness through a lyrical and mesmerizing voice describing a journey of questioning and observing. This is beautiful work, at once precise and direct and at the same time lush and evocative, poetry that lives up to the command to make it new.”
