Book of the Week: in and out of cloud

Helen Robinson is a strong voice from northern England, but her work is little known here since she publishes almost entirely in UK journals and in handsome, privately produced chapbooks such as this one (self-published, 2001). Her adherence to a traditional content with a Zen-infused spirit is among her most noticeable traits.

You can read the entire book in the THF Digital Library.

Do you have a chapbook published 2010 or earlier you would like featured as a Book of the Week? Contact us for details.
