Collected Poetry
|
Once upon a time, when I lived in San Francisco, my sister came to visit me. I was 24 and in art school, she was 16. She had been taking creative writing classes at her high school and, knowing that I was a writer, she was not confident about her work. I opened one of my desk drawers; it was filled with papers. I told her I was going to get a cup of coffee and to start reading my early creative work. I returned an hour later. "Rob," she said, "your poems suck!"
Spree is an anthology of work from 1990 to 2000. It contains much of my early work and travel poems.
Leaving Poland B is a fourteen poem chapbook based on a trip to Poland I took with my sister in 2001. These poems mediate on the illusory quality of roots and the state of a reformed American Jew as he explores a past he knows little about and of which little remains.
