"These Personal Effects add up to a life, in all its clutter and grace, its fear and anger and desire. Bloom's voice is a torch, sending its searing, fearless light into the well of self. She knows the well is bottomless, and dangerous. She goes in anyway." - Stephanie Bolster About the Author: Ronna Bloom is the author of seven books of poetry. She has led initiatives to bring poetry into health care, developing the Poet in Residence program at Sinai Health. Ronna has collaborated with filmmakers, choreographers, and architects and in 2018, her poem "The City," was painted by PLANT Architects 35 meters wide on King Street in Toronto.
