Book excerpt: After a fire destroyed her home, Robin Gabbert realized she had lost all of her handwritten poetry which she had never bothered to computerize. Gone?all the pieces of work going back to her teenage years, decades ago. It was only in the last year before the fire that she started writing again. Several decades of working as a lawyer and raising a family seemed to have intervened, but now all of it was gone. Her condo was reduced to ashes within an hour after she fled. It has now been three years since the fire.She is writing again and decided, after a sufficient period of mourningand self-pity, that she would try to recreate, to the extent possible, those earlier works of poetry that she lost. This book is the result of that endeavor. The first part of the book, The Fledging, is comprised largely of the poems of her youth,reconstituted, or poems about her youth, recently written. The second part of the book, Downs and Ups, is poems written since the fire. The fire and its fallout are a thread that runs through many of these poems like a particularlyvirulent strain of a nasty virus; one that just won't seem to go away. However, it's not in her nature to lay down anddie.
