Follow on Google News | New Poetry Collection: Two Little Girls in a Wading PoolRaised in the little town of Elkton, Virginia, in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, Sara Robinson grew up in one of only two Jewish families in the community. She shares the milestones of her childhood and small town life in her new book of poetry
By: Cedar Creek Publishing - Linda M. Layne, Publisher Advance Review: "In her poem 'Boardwalk,' Sara Robinson describes, with her usual visual acuity and meditative suppleness, citizens of her beloved Elkton, Virginia, who are 'keepers / of voices who sing of things they are / and things they are not.' What is true of her generously imagined townspeople is true of Robinson herself. In 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, sympathetic 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: --STEPHEN CUSHMAN Robert C.
