Bed of Lists by Elizabeth Robinson Poems 1990, 48 pp. $8 ISBN 0-932716-25-3

Wholly original, Elizabeth Robinson's is an imagination of unusual resonance and indelible specificity. The pleasure in her poems is also their challenge, embracing a sense of play which in turn generates an extravagantly complex imagery through its willful deviance and layering.
"In these deft, subtle poems meaningful associations arrange themselves. Like
'bones in a sand cliff'; like 'that bed whose middle is lowered by the body,'
Robinson's impressions last."
C.D. Wright
