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:
“The most original sin is not the thinker’s but the poet’s.”
—José Bergamín (1895–1983)
“For poetry was all written before time was, and whenever we are so finely organized that we can penetrate into that region where the air is music, we hear those primal warblings, and attempt to write them down, but we lose ever and anon a word, a verse, and substitute something of our own, and thus miswrite the poem.”
—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)
