A Day's Grace: Poems 1997-2002

by Robyn Sarah

Eric Ormsby wrote that `So assured and musical is the hand that shaped them that these poems tend to memorize themselves, as though they had always formed part of our experience.' This is Sarah's sixth full-length collection, marked by its humility, joy and philosophical elegance.

Robyn Sarah is best known in Canada for her poetry and there is no doubt that she is a great poet. I happen to love her stories though, she has at least 2 story collections: well worth tracking down.
