Carrier

by Virginia Robinson

Robinson, VirginiaCarrierPoetry. In this, her first collection of poetry, "Virginia Robinson is a carrier herself, a woman left behind in wartime to bear the burden of fearing for those she loves, of remembering the lost days of peace before her friends were deployed on those other carriers, Navy ships"-Joan Swift. "This book tells a story that rarely shows up in American poetry. It does so with perfect dramatic pacing, just the right mix of tenderness and detachment, and inventive language"-Alan Williamson.
