Bøger af Judith Robbins

Through the lenses of everyday routine, the distances of childhood, and the expanses of making and reading poetry from Dante to Mary Oliver, we get in these verses penetrating reflections of wonder, anger, joy, regret, faith and doubt, hope and discouragement, resentment and love-records of a well-examined life. -Dana Wilde, author

Judith Robbins' poems are vivid, funny, sometimes shocking, always moving. Reading these poems, you find yourself in hardscrabble working class Worcester of the post-war era, the dark places between the tripledeckers; or you're plopped down into the unpredictable weather of inland Maine. Wherever the poems take you, the light gets in. Family, place, heritage, language: these poems bring all those things together in moments and memories that again and again give us glimpses of haven (and heaven).
