Wissahickon

Arts & Literature

“In this collection, Third Order Franciscan Scott Robinson engages many poetic forms—sonnet, ballad, ode, haibun, tanka—to meditate on a beloved natural area, a gem (garnet?) of northwest Philadelphia, sanctuary for the entire City of Brotherly Love. Calling up echoes of Louise Gluck’s “The Wild Iris,” Wissahickon is a must-read for those seeking axioms of the self and the world around them.”
