Night Rider by Marilyn Ricci is a perfectly poised collection of poems, dealing mainly with poignant reflections and memories of the poet’s parents. The style of writing is skeletal (adding to the poems freshness) and versatile in its simplicity and in its use of diction and metaphor. Also there are a couple of poems which enter into a philosophical mode of questioning, belief and the reason for existence; but they do this with a light touch and so are easily accessible to the reader. Ricci’s description of the mundane is both precise and inquisitive.
