Original Poetry and Essays About Poetry
Ranson-Polizzotti writes poetry on her personal website on a regular basis. Most are confessional in nature (similar to poets she admires). Usually first person, sensual and involving a lot of recurring themes. Many are about her life overseas in France. Many are accompanied by photos (sometimes of herself). Her articles cover a variety of subjects, including cultural comment, GenX issues, review, literature, and music.
Ranson's work has been published in journals both in the United States and abroad and has been well received and reviewed by many journals, such as The Dalkey Archive Press (publisher) which reviewed Ranson's first book, Eels. Ranson-Polizzotti has a new book of collected and select poems forthcoming this summer from her French publisher, Alyscamps Press, who initially published Ranson's first novel in a limited, signed and numbered collector's edition. These editions, considered rare, now sell for over eighty dollars if authenticated.

Famous quotes containing the words original, poetry and/or essays:
“We often have need of a profound philosophy to restore to our feelings their original state of innocence, to find our way out of the rubble of things alien to us, to begin to feel for ourselves and to speak ourselves, and I might almost say to exist ourselves.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“Events, actions arise, that must be sung, that will sing themselves. Who can doubt, that poetry will revive and lead in a new age, as the star in the constellation Harp, which now flames in our zenith, astronomers announce, shall one day be the pole- star for a thousand years?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“If these Essays were worthy of being judged, it might fall out, in my opinion, that they would not find much favour, either with common and vulgar minds, or with uncommon and eminent ones: the former would not find enough in them, the latter would find too much; they might manage to live somewhere in the middle region.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
