Amnesty Muse

Doren Robbins

$18.00

“A poet examines his life: what he’s been dealt, what he’s chosen, the workings of history with personal griefs and delights, ‘amnesty’ of an uneasy coming-to-terms with self and others, being his muse. There’s a macabre wit, masculine vulnerability, and soul-conflict in the best of these poems, adding up to a very strong book.”–Adrienne Rich
