hilosophy, poetry, politics, and people, Ken Jones' Dormant Volcano covers a wide range of topics and expertly at that. Jones combines traditional devices with an experimental twist in order to tackle an intriguing array of subjects. Jones does not stick with what one would expect a poet to stick with in a collection, something I appreciate. The collection, though long, does not get stale, rather it gets more intriguing the further you go-- some of my favorite poems of the work are in the last section-definitely a collection I could not put down. -Emily Ramser, Author of I Forgot How To Write When They Diagnosed Me
