In the Talking Hours Poems

In the Talking Hours, James Ragan's first book of poems -- originally published in 1979 -- unleashes its raw energy and emotional power like a collection of classic paintings brought forth in a new retrospective. Hailed by Josephine Miles as the work of "an authoritative voice who will be recognized as an important voice", this distinguished collection is imbued with the social turbulence of the times and the emotions of a young poet coming to terms with his family, mortality, and the absurdities of modernity.Ragan, James is the author of 'In the Talking Hours Poems', published 2004 under ISBN 9781932800012 and ISBN 1932800018.
