- Leonard Cohen - How To Speak PoetryDon't be a clown. Or do. It's all about the depending.
Listen as Leonard Cohen tells us what is embarrassing and not-right about those who read to us. Let me not fail him.
I look good when I'm tired (he said so),

- Mark Strand - Some Last WordsWhat did you last ask in a graveyard? What is the perfume you love? Have you, a poor man, entered a woman of means? And do we all agree that good things are most likely NOT on their way?
How much toilet paper do you keep in the house? Do you use HP60 ink cartridges? Is it ok that this is all about me? Did I warm your heart in San Antonio?
With love, Robyn and Mark

- Anne Carson - Autobiography of Red"The world poured back and forth between their eyes once or twice." Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson is in my list of the Top 5 Books I'd Recommend to Absolutely Anyone. It's tragic, obsessive love. It's cruelty and confusion. It's brave and brilliant. And dear Geryon is the most lovable main character I've ever read. And the structure of this book - A NOVEL IN VERSE - perfection.
GOD LOVES LOLA,
Robyn

- Kenneth Fearing - Andy and Jerry and JoeThere are clouds overhead, there are people whose fathers are dead, there are crime novelists writing poetry and those people sometimes die of cancer. There is this. And there is that. And there is you and there is me.
Restless desires & unnerving fears,
Robyn

About ME READING STUFF
From the publisher's feed
This is simply me reading stuff. Poems, essays, letters, recipes, and whatever else feels alive in the moment — mixed with my own rambling thoughts, laughter, and honest reflections on life, art,…
and everything in between.
Think of it as having lunch with a good friend: warm, unfiltered, and admittedly a little bit strange. A space where we can escape together with books, encourage each other, and feel a little less alone.
Sincerely,
Robyn O’Neil
