Reviews for A House Made Out of Words
by Sarah Stern
...filled with beautiful and haunting poems. Robbins' poems do not shy away from the savagery and depravity of history as in the title poem that ends with this,"I live in the second/century of world wars." At the same time, this brave poet holds on dearly and savors what is good in the world.
by Anna Wrobel
Dana is a master at unearthing the interdependence of the universal and the particular, the global and the personal, the lost and found. This poetic memoir fuses ancestral pasts to descendant futures.
Sample from A House Made Out of Words
The Station
It was an abandoned train depot, eight
foot square, brick, and cozy inside,
the perfect place for two girls to share
a joint before setting out on our evening
adventure, meaning boys. She was a blond
coquette who dazzled many. I was a dark
serious girl hungry for love. As we passed
the lit roach between us, the light shone
on the shiny unspent pennies of our eyes,
cast shadows into the dim corners of our
hideaway. Away from boys and mothers,
we were escaped princesses, in a way station
between childhood and its end, we savored
our freedom, our unstamped tickets,
our destinations unknown.
