Poetry. The author of three previous poetry collections continues her luminous and bittersweet narrative style. Robin Chapman is a poetic voice you can settle into, learn from, come to know and trust. Whether she is writing of her childhood in a nuclear boom town or her now grown children or the passions and pleasures of nature, Chapman draws you into her world with the deftest of gestures and the surest of language. THE WAY IN is a generous book, full of life, and a true pleasure to read -- Jesse Lee Kercheval.

Robin Chapman is author of ten previous poetry collections, including THE WAY IN and Images of a Complex World: The Art and Poetry of Chaos, both winners of the Posner Poetry Prize; and The Dreamer Who Counted the Dead, winner of a Wisconsin Library Association's Outstanding Poetry Book award. A three-time recipient of Wisconsin Arts Board grants, including a Literary Fellowship for 2007, she has collaborated with artists and composers, helped organize the traveling Epidemic Peace Imagery exhibit, and co-edited the anthology On Retirement: 75 Poems. She lives in Madison, Wisconsin, with her husband Will Zarwell.
