Robinson calibrates the motion between fear, apprehension, and knowledge--comprehension at the crux of human imagining. She shows, with a minimalist's precision and a logician's attention to linguistic morphology, how the often bleak agenda of the real capitulates to the moral restitution of the true; how our need to tell stories enjambs faith and enlightenment. This is a work of uncanny persuasion." -- Ann Lauterbach]]> 196947 4.24 135 8 2003 343273 0932716512 9780932716514 1 <![CDATA[House Made of Silver]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173904081m/343273.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173904081s/343273.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/343273.House_Made_of_Silver 4.11 18 196947 4.24 135 8 2000 343274 0974468797 9780974468792 0 <![CDATA[Apostrophe]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1185474445m/343274.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1185474445s/343274.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/343274.Apostrophe 4.58 12 196947 4.24 135 8 2006 343275 1890650072 9781890650070 0 <![CDATA[Harrow]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173904082m/343275.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173904082s/343275.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/343275.Harrow 4.56 9 196947 4.24 135 8 2001 5290036 1934200166 9781934200162 2 <![CDATA[The Orphan & Its Relations]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5290036.The_Orphan_Its_Relations 4.88 8
"I would be you, the self at a loss. The invisible hand that rests on the shoulder
"of its own body, guiding it. We do not know what comfort is."

Using prose poems to suggest the narrative logic of the story, The Orphan and Its Relations takes references from domestic life, myth and folktales, and artworks "to bridge," as Robert Creeley said elsewhere of Robinson's work, "between the physically given world and that other we gloss with words, yet apprehend insistently as the defining presence of our lives themselves."]]> 196947 4.24 135 8 2008 3433080 0978600908 9780978600907 0 <![CDATA[Inaudible Trumpeters]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3433080.Inaudible_Trumpeters 5.00 6 196947 4.24 135 8 2008 1284100 1886224714 9781886224711 0 <![CDATA[Under That Silky Roof]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1185476030m/1284100.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1185476030s/1284100.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1284100.Under_That_Silky_Roof 4.14 7 196947 4.24 135 8 2006 1844942 0932716253 9780932716255 0 <![CDATA[Bed of Lists]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1189105304m/1844942.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1189105304s/1844942.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1844942.Bed_of_Lists 4.50 6 196947 4.24 135 8 1990 343278 1557134103 9781557134103 1 <![CDATA[Pure Descent]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173904083m/343278.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173904083s/343278.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/343278.Pure_Descent 4.60 5 Winner of the 2001 National Poetry Series, Pure Descent was selected by Fanny Howe. This book of poetry expresses its title in at least two ways: as a straight descent into the world and into the fear and reality of death; and as a fall from "purity" and spiritual "grace." Elizabeth Robinson searches through her struggles with the spiritual world that is as fresh as today's headlines.

Elizabeth Robinson grew up in Los Alamitos, California. She attended Bard College and Brown University, and now lives in the San Francisco area. Her previous books include Eight Etudes, Bed of Lists, In the Sequence of Falling Things, and My Name Happens Also.
