Where Green Meets Blue continues Elizabeth Robin’s lyric inquiry into loss, and the struggle to maintain equilibrium. The title is taken from “Whereafter,” the poem searching a resting place for grief and longing: where green meets blue/ i remember, he loved that view.

In one poem after another, readers spend their days together with the poet. Her language is rhythmical and articulate, her poetry is frank and thorough.

In the aftermath of the catastrophic hurricane Matthew, the poet observes the dismantled pines and tells: i’m left with the stump/lifeless, flat, unmoved. She doesn’t end there, but continues: oversized hands/wise eyes/and a rumbling humor. It is so . . . memorable.

Where Green Meets Blue is a book of surrender, restoration and ultimately of hope.
