Gift of Screws
Robin Hannah
Winner of the New Muse Award
1996
“Robin Hannah’s poetry displays both a depth of wisdom & increasing cynicism mixed with
longing & pure romantic sentiment on par with the poetry of Emily Dickinson & the novels of
Elizabeth Smart. In writing that struggles between wanting to be alone & wanting to be alone
with someone, when Robin Hannah is good, she is very good. Hers is a stellar craft.”
— rob mclennan
“Robin crafts a poem like a Japanese master swordmaker creates a blade; using only the finest
ingredients, forging at the precise temperature and folding steel in on itself, hundreds if not
thousands of times.”
— b stephen harding, Graffito
“selection of key events and revealing details worthy of excavation”
— The Globe and Mail
