“Our literary community is lucky to have had Robyn join in the ancient efforts to speak into infinity.”—BDC
Book Description
“When I read her manuscript for the first time, I was unprepared for the concrete images: the sap from a tapped maple, the houses and butterflies and rooms she shows us. I didn't expect mature observances from someone so young. Robyn is engaged in the world through these poems. In the clever parody of Poe, in her imagined banter at a men's shelter, and other narrative poems, we find her examining, critiquing, exploring the world, the people in it, and her relationship to it. We find her taking on characters in persona poems where she molds her voice into those of husbands, wives, laborers, and vagabonds. She resists the common urge of young writers to shut out the world and look only inward for voice…” Barbara DeCesare Poet and Writer author Jigsaw EyeSore “Robyn’s writings give us a portal into the mind of a teen confronted with life and her views of the ever-widening world around her.” Jacki Edens
