The Geography of My Life Lynn Robbins

In The Geography of My Life, Lynn Robbins leads us on a heartfelt journey through the uncertainty of life. With her metaphoric compass, Robbins travels through that everyday uncertainty, drops down into caverns of loss and grief, and then rises, not only to hope, but to peace and gratitude.

Robbins's poetry reminds us that life-and death-is in the minutest details, the sound, the color, the smell of otherwise ordinary moments-a soft wind rattling the door, a slim disk of soap, chunks of cantaloupe. The topography of human emotion is on full display, with wisdom and compassion found in unlikely places.

No matter our own geography, these soulful poems offer a map for all of us, spurring us on and helping us find our way, while cautioning us to look closely with each step.
