Robert Peterson's poetry is a collection of livid memories of stark moments committed to verse, lyrical reminiscence of past shadows and glimpses of light. His poems somehow manage to touch on the emotional resonance of a place or time while maintaining a certain level of philosophical detachment, resulting often in the portrayal of the subject from multiple viewpoints at once.

Personal favorites in this collection:

In the 2 A.M. Club
The Dog is Breaking Down
Le Havre
A Disaster
How I Became a Poet ( )
