En savoir plus sur le livre
This is a collection of poems about life-its imperfect beauty, its poignance, and the forces that propel it forward. Toggling among life stages-from a child's recollections of school with its "blue-lined grainy first-grade paper" to an adult's look back through the eyes of shared reminiscence with a boon companion, these poems resonate with a sense of time's passage, its transience and elasticity. Grief and disappointment compete with an indomitable will to continue despite setbacks and loss. Whether through the eyes of teenage Holocaust survivor, Dora, who gleans the forest floors in her quest to live, or the "jobless-wounded-welfar-ians" who keep on dreaming of the windfall that will make it all better, the human beings in Judith R. Robinson's poems may be beaten and bruised by life's hard knocks-but they are not down for the count.
