Winner of the Fran Claggett-Holland Award for Poetry"Somehow, I Haven't Drowned." Don't overlook the title of this amazing collection of poems by Robin Gabbert. Robin, like Robert Frost, is a trickster poet-with subtler meaning always present in her poems. It is easy to get swept up in her ability to get right to the heart of one tragedy after another, while emerging strong and determined in the next poem. The book is beautifully structured, so take time to follow her clues. She is masterful in building mood and tone in the sections, and awakening in her readers almost a companionship, before returning us to her vivid finales. - Fran Claggett-Holland, writer, poet, educational consultantThe poems in Robin Gabbert's Somehow, I Haven't Drowned emerge from the hands of a keen and candid observer who speaks her mind and her heart. These courageous poems "slip into the space between stars and trees... make bones light up...make your every breath rattle." This poet is fearless and does not shy away from hard truths and harsh realities.Like the title of this remarkable collection the poems within are too buoyant to sink.- Les Bernstein, poet
