Short description:
This book by a funny, smart feminist and former divorce lawyer is a delight to read. Her poems are poignant, as in the opening sonnet for her mother, and richly empathic throughout with the situations of other women. Is it possible to be satiric, yet tender? See Work,where the lives of the first-year English teacher, the nighttime cleaner in her blue uniformand the lawyer in her little cage/ of suit and stockingscombine to teach us that guilt is what we breathe,Black and White is everythingand love is ever ingenious.Nor are these all. Robinson is wise and witty, a rare combination that makes for something rarer still-- a confident first book.---Maxine Kumin
Long description:
Her work is immensely accessible and revealing. She seems to express so well the unexpressed thoughts that most of us think we have had, or wish we had.---?Steve Bennett, Post and CourierCharleston, South Carolina
Hearsay celebrates a woman's life from childhood to middle age, including
the often-ignored subject of work, with a voice that is sometimes tender, sometimes whimsical, but always strong. The winner of the 2003 Poets Out Loud Prize, this collection "proffers craft and vision; it begins, one might say, in delight and ends in wisdom" (Robert Wrigley, judge).
