<p>Poetry. Art. "'Art, Art, Art!' With exuberant repetition Corinne Robins begins TODAY'S MENU, her best book of poems so far. These poems whisk readers on a fast-clipped journey through the world of visual art from the nineteen sixties to the twenty-first century, displaying delight and depth of gratitude at the life-saving nature of the image. She buttonholes her favorite painters and sculptors the way Blake questions his Tyger, firing up ekphrasis, and burning each poem bright"--Molly Peacock. "TODAY'S MENU? What art and the art of poetry especially are today-that's what Corinne Robins provides us, nothing short of art in its fullest power, the art of fully invented poem after poem"--Lawrence Joseph. The poems are interlaced with Joyce Romano's beautiful and subtle visual images.</p>

Poetry. FACING IT AGAIN: NEW AND SELECTED POEMS by Corinne Robins does not shrink from naming her personal pains and triumphs, as well as the works of art that in her view reflect them, faced again as they are embodied in these deeply ruminative poems. This book is a testament to a long and committed life told here with painful honesty in marvelous lyric excursions.
