His work is precise, perceptive, and provocative in the best sense available to the mind and heart. I strongly recommend "Chasing Ghosts." Discover it, and you will return to it again and again. N. Scott Momaday, Pulitzer Prize Laureate, author of "Again the Far Morning" An intellectual who persists in the love of language, an aging lover who dates Dickinson but marries Millay, a poet who is a king of paradox, M. Z. Ribalow, in his "Chasing Ghosts" cannot escape blood in our bloody continuing era, but his poetry is inspiring. He is a first-rate poet who yearns for connection even as he is most at home with the separateness with which we are all afflicted. If you strive for the poetry which builds a rough unity and is about the flightiness of reality, you will be at home with Ribalow 's work. Andrew Glaze, SEBA Book of the Year Winner for Poetry, author of "Reality Street" and "Someone Will Go On Owing" M. Z. Ribalow is a poet not of the thing itself, but of the thing 's echoes, the thousand aftermaths of movies and conversations with God and midnight neurotic phone calls and ticking memories, the regret that becomes a salvation of sorts without ever ceasing to be regret, the quiet ache that is its own heartbeat. These poems are lyrical but never flowery, cool but not detached, suffused at every elegantly turned phrase by meaning, or the hunger for it. Glen Hirshberg, winner of the 2008 Shirley Jackson Award, author of "American Morons" and "The Book of Bunk"
