In House Made of Silver, Robinson uses spare, elegant language to explore spiritual themes in a manner evocative of the compressed intensity of Emily Dickinson. Within the architecture of daily domestic scenes, a complex world is revealed to the reader. As with "condensation on that vessel that was not a glass" or "maps sewn with leaves," Robinson sculpts intricate and interior spaces. Fanny Howe writes of the book: "The delicacy of these poems replicates the quality of their insights, insights too shattering and celestial to be uttered any other way."
