…in Everett, Washington is a fan of Weldon Kees.

As such, they are also a fan of Robinson Alone, and wrote in this review in the Everett Herald that: “it is Rooney’s nimble, imaginative and attentive language that forms the heart of this book. Her dedication and skill in capturing the spirit of Kees as man and artist even frees the reader from needing to know his actual work – though her book will certainly spur some readers to explore his brief Collected Poems, his letters, or his striking paintings. Robinson Alone will introduce you to both a lively contemporary poet and to a terrific, neglected, and long-missing one.” Thanks, Everett Public Library staff!
