Say Uncle, Ryan's fifth collection, is filled with the same hidden connections, the same slyness and almost gleeful detachment that has delighted readers of her earlier books.

Kay Ryan has been described as our generation's Emily Dickenson. Like Dickenson, Ryan composes her poems in very short lines and she packs dense imagery and sound into every syllable.
