Rona Shaffran, poet
Born and raised in Montreal, Quebec, Rona Shaffran lives in Ottawa, Ontario. Ignite (Signature Editions, 2013) is her first published collection of poetry.
“ Ignite explores the bare bones of a relationship, nerves harrowed and senses clenched as the poems move towards healing and intimacy. Her approach to both love and the larger world has a black and white precision to it, a snap in the telling that almost breaks your heart. Language is used sparingly; it isn't until after a page has been turned that you notice each line is bleeding just a little around the edges."
