We're Somewhere Else Now

<p><strong>Nominated for a 2025 National Magazine Award in Poetry</strong></p><p><b>In her first collection of new poetry in a decade, Robyn Sarah chronicles the pandemic years with quiet wisdom and her flair for meshing the familiar with the numinous. </b></p><p><em>We’re Somewhere Else Now</em> moves with ease from the particular to the abstract. These are poems of grief and unexpected change, of quiet awe at the human experience. Each poem is a window for the reader to look into, “lit room to lit room,” tracking desultory days of isolation and uncertainty, while also highlighting reasons to pay attention: playing with a grandchild, the rarity of a leap year, the calls of birds.</p>
