All American Girl

'All-American Girl is a lively mix of poems that reflect Robin Becker's sexual and social identity in startling and often magically apt metaphors. The Philadelphia of her girlhood, her ancestral links to the shtetls of Eastern Europe, the mesas of New Mexico, her loved landscape, Italy... meet and meld in surprising, satisfying juxtapositions. This is Robing Becker's best work to date.' As said by Maxine Kumin.
