The poems in Excursive appear as practical essays in the manner of Francis Bacon or Montaigne but in the spirit of Robert Duncan and contemporary poets concerned with what goes on day to day for the poet as a person in a world of archetypes. Her poems direct our attention to subjects diverse and miscellaneous or as her subtitle says, “on Abstraction, Entity, Experience, Impression, Oddity, Utterance, &c.” Her essays are not only practical, but in this world increasingly driven by fear, Robinson assures the reader that, “’World’ does not mean ‘harm.’”
Elizabeth Robinson is the author of several collections of poetry, including the National Poetry Series Winner Pure Descent and the Fence Modern Poets Prize winner Apprehend. Her book On Ghosts from Solid Objects was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times book award in poetry. With Jennifer Phelps, Robinson co-edited Quo Anima: innovation and spirituality in contemporary women’s poetry. Robinson has recently been recognized with a Pushcart Prize and Editor’s Choice awards from New Letters and Scoundrel Time.
