Winner of the 2018 Lexi Rudnitsky First Book Prize in Poetry
A seasoned first collection of poems--personal and wry--that showcases an impressive poetic talent.
In Ridiculous Light, Valencia Robin captures the everyday and the ecstatic in a voice all her own. Through poems that live at the intersection of history and experience, she captures the joys and tumult of being alive. She is a storyteller of the first order, a documenter not just of memories but of how we remember.
