Description
Matt Robinson’s poetry considers daily life with the lens zoomed all the way in, magnifying the finest grains of detail. Whether he’s writing about the New Year’s Day hangover, perfectly mown lawns, the ampersand on a wedding invitation, beer league hockey or the shattering of a deceased parent’s casserole dish, Robinson susses out the seemingly innocuous web of relationships that give the domestic its complexity.
