Join Robyn Sarah for the launch of her new poetry collection, We’re Somewhere Else Now: Poems 2016–2024 (Biblioasis), at Librairie Bertrand Bookstore in Montreal.

About the Book

In her first collection of new poems in a decade, Robyn Sarah chronicles the pandemic years with quiet wisdom and her flair for meshing the familiar with the numinous.

We’re Somewhere Else Now 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.”

“[Hers] are the sort of metaphors that in their clarity of sense, image, and sound create spaces for meaning otherwise impossible to articulate.”
—Anita Lahey, The Walrus
