TRUE MOSS is a small pointed collection of stories about ancestry, family, resilience, and strange and precious memories with an attention to detail that fills the reader with images that follow long after the book is back on the shelf.
Bill Ratner (the voice of Flint in the GI Joe and 9 X MOTH StorySlam winner) is a master teacher at SAG AFTRA and has successes in many fields. So, do not be fooled by the chapbook page count. So much is accomplished in these bright transparent poems, as rich and mysterious as the sepia prints in the family album, Bill Ratner's poetry is full of wisdom, epiphany, resignation and surprise. Of his four previous brilliant collections, this is his finest book yet.
"Bill Ratner's poetry is fearless and lrreverent. He has gone through the tunnel and lived to tell the tale. He invitees you to leave the shallow waters and meet him in the deep end." - Jack Grapes, Last of the Outsiders
"Ratner's poems find life's humor and sweetness. They kick off their shoes and dance with Death."
-Alexis Rhone Fancher, Junkie Wife
