I envy you -- revision is difficult but not nearly as hard as facing the first blank page. Your poems are heartfelt. The last stanza in "Harvest" was particularly affecting for me.
These poems are hauntingly beautiful, Robin. I am so glad to be able to hear you read them.
Wishing you luck in revising the novel. I know that feeling of taking long, obsessing over details. I also know I must get back to book V in the Edge of Yesterday series, Struck by Stars. To finish writing the story and wrap up the series (at least for now). I keep getting distracted (distracting myself!) I admire your focus in going through final edits in your novel.
In childhood, we are closest
to the ghosts that formed us - I love that line. It resonated with me.
Thank you, Doreen. 🙏🏼
Haunting close up snapshots yet zoomed out impressionist works all at once. Brilliant Robin!
Thank you for your kind words and for reading closely, Maria. Your gifts of seeing and expression mean a lot to me. 🙏

Thank you, Martina. I appreciate you reading these poems and taking time to share your thoughts with me. I wish you well with your writing.
Your poems bring light and wisdom to a very painful story. Thank you for sharing them!
Thank you, Julie. 🙏
Thanks, Meg!

P. S. I wrote a lengthier reply on your restack. And thank you for that, too!
Thank you, Robin!
Lovely! ✍️🎊
What does one say when encouraging the book-writing process? Happy Writing and Good Luck both seem rote and unfitting. Fruitful WIP-ing? Lol
