Review Quotes




"The vigour gets into Sarah's rhythms and rhymes, as always, but they play here against a melancholic sense, as in blues music."—Canadian Literature

"Her precise descriptive siftings...promote a vision of abundance as composed of luminous bits and pieces that never take up more room than they need."—Arc Poetry Magazine

"Robyn Sarah's poems in Pause for Breath engage the textures of daily life rather than philosophy."— Dr. Bert Almon
