[Barry Nadel · Rating 4 out of 5]

The author explores his past loves and regrets, shamelessly expressing guilt, regret and loss. “This is my moment of destruction and rebuilding. This is the moment of my dying.”
The collection of poems aren’t all of the same style. The author succeeds in evoking emotion, so kudos on his success. As one who has lost a wife to cancer, I am familiar with the emotions the author writes about. However, the feeling I get is the author tells us about death, dying, sorrow, and loss, but leaves it at that. There is no light at the end of the tunnel. He leaves you with a feeling of was all this pain worth it?

[Michael Beyer · Rating 5 out of 5]

These poems are not for those readers who require verse to be light, happy, and upbeat. The only happy emotions come as an ironic counterpoint to the overall themes of these relentlessly somber and thoughtful poems. The tone is more depressing than uplifting, but there is a real sense of digging for deeper meaning in issues of life and love and death. If you like dark but thoughtful poetry, you should love this book.

Heartbreaking

It took a few stanzas to begin to understand what was dying if not already dead. I found the beauty of Mr. Robinson's poems when I realized this wasn't about a physical death with a funeral procession to follow. This is how someone yearning for that deeper connection feels when the ties become unbound. Simply beautiful.

Very interesting

I like the subject matter of love, broken hearts and death. I could never be a poet. I'll stick to fiction it's better for me. Great work, C.J.
