Every Robin Sings... shares what was a surprise to the author - and largely why he wrote the book. Poetry is powerful - a tool - one of life's great game changers - while yet a far more powerful tool - private poetry - at our fingertips - often - is missed or dismissed.

To illustrate the process and power of our private written words - 23 of the author's once private poems make the case - sharing insights into poem creation, stories, and life altering impacts -and ranging in topics, styles, forms, and genres. Our astonishing futures begin as poems.
