?With their clever – but never glib – concision of image, and emotional directedness, these poems actually make me feel something, and that is something I really enjoy.’ – Rebecca Wolff, author of One Morning- ?Ritchie throws black holes on the wall, disappears through them.

This is a formidable collection.’ – Ben Fama, author of Fantasy
