Bridging traditions of secular, religious, modernist, and post modernist writing to encounter living at its most provocative and urgent, Caton's poems -- at times conversational, meditative, minimalist, and expansive--are unified by an insistence to reach, with language, through language, to what is ever outside a word's ability to name.
In The Color of Dusk, Robin Caton bridges traditions of secular, religious, modernist, and post modernist writing to encounter word at its most unsettling, provocative, and urgent. At times conversational, elliptic, meditative, minimalist, expansive, Caton's poems are unified by an insistence to reach, with language, through language, to turn words toward what is ever outside their ability to name.
