On Monsters by Elizabeth Robinson
On Monsters by Elizabeth Robinson
In a world made of Manzanita, poison oak, wasp, and squirrel carcass, Robinson’s characters exist both as curious natural fixtures and complex bodies in motion. While Sasquatch sweats in the sun, and Yeti examines her own fur curiously, and time warps in and out of focus, the poet says to us, “Here, take a look at the contingency of the monstrous.”
