{"product_id":"9780983919223","title":"Two Little Girls In A Wading Pool (A Collection Of Poetry)","description":"In her poem “\"Boardwalk,\"” Sara Robinson describes, with her usual visual acuity and meditative suppleness, citizens of her beloved Elkton, Virginia, who are\u003cbr\u003e“\"keepers \/ of voices who sing of things they are \/ and things they are not.\"”\u003cbr\u003eWhat is true of her generously imagined townspeople is true of Robinson herself.\u003cbr\u003eIn this debut volume, she sings of what she is--—keen historian of particular people in a particular place, a little girl growing up into visionary adulthood,\u003cbr\u003esympathetic friend and family member, attentive observer of local flora and fauna, both animal and human--—and of what she is not, what is not part of her immediate sensory experience but what nevertheless presents itself abundantly to her capable understanding: eruptions of violence, past and present; other landscapes, domestic and foreign; other selfscapes in people she treats with compassionate dignity. Perceptual traveler, efficient narrator, fearless experimenter, Sara Robinson gives us precious treasure here. - STEPHEN CUSHMAN, Robert C.
