Pure Descent by Elizabeth Robinson
Winner of the 2001 National Poetry Series, Pure Descent was selected by Fanny Howe. This book of poetry expresses its title in at least two ways: as a straight descent into the world and into the fear and reality of death; and as a fall from purity and spiritual grace. Elizabeth Robinson searches through her struggles with the spiritual world that is as fresh as today's headlines.
Elizabeth Robinson grew up in Los Alamitos, California. She attended Bard College and Brown University, and now lives in the San Francisco area. Her previous books include Eight Etudes, Bed of Lists, In the Sequence of Falling Things, and My Name Happens Also.
ELIZABETH ROBINSON is the author of a number of poetry collections, including Apprehend, which won the Fence Modern Poets Prize in 2003. She went to Bard College, Brown University, and Pacific School of Theology for her education. Robinson has won the National Poetry Series and received the 2008 Grants to Artists Award from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts. She is a professor at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado.
