Carousel

Long considered one of Pittsburgh's literary treasures, this new collection of Judith R. Robinson's poetry and fiction continues to push her work further into new frontiers. Not only does her poetry, which Grace Cavalieri* describes as being "...of image and motion. She composes poems like songs with clarity and vision, trimmed with memory..." continue to explore the human condition, but her short stories reveal another dimension of the human paradigm. As Judith says; "While "Carousel," contains new material, it is also the culmination of many years of work and publication; I am grateful to my publisher, Lummox Press, and its editor, RD Armstrong, for an opportunity to share this writing with an expanded audience. For me, reading and writing are the two sides of world-exploration. Poems and stories are at once personal and universal, and as necessary to a fully realized life as food and drink---and more, a human pleasure. My hope is that this book will bring some measure of that to readers."
