Hearsay celebrates a woman's life from childhood to middle age, including the often-ignored subject of work, with a voice that is sometimes tender, sometimes whimsical, but always strong. The winner of the 2003 Poets Out Loud Prize, this collection "proffers craft and vision; it begins, one might say, in delight and ends in wisdom" (Robert Wrigley, judge).To read a sample of her poetry, visit www.poetsoutloud.com.

Lee Robinson's poems and essays have appeared in many magazines and journals. She is the author of a novel, Gateway, and is a three-time winner of the South Carolina Arts Commission's Fiction Prize for her short stories. In 1996 Ms. Robinson received the American Bar Association's Ross Essay Prize, and in 2000 she was awarded a Texas Writers' League Poetry Fellowship. She practiced law for over 20 years and now teaches at the Center for Medical Humanities and Ethics in San Antonio.

Her work is immensely accessible and revealing. She seems to express so well the unexpressed thoughts that most of us think we have had, or wish we had.---—Steve Bennett, Post and CourierCharleston, South Carolina One is persuaded by these poems because they are full of the world and alive within the senses. You enter into them, and they enter into you, and for that period of cohabitation, you find yourself changed. . . .As a reader, you can hardly ask for more.---—Robert Wrigley, Judge for the Poets Out Loud Prize They reach to the core, the wise and witty poems of Robinson's fine first collection. Hearsay offers clear-handed testimony that no reader can afford to dismiss. - —Wendy Barker
