<p>&lt;p&gt;If you like variety you&rsquo;ll find it in this book of poetry plays short stories and short memoir essays. A sense of humor pervades and Ms. Robinson pulls no punches when writing about sensitive social issues. It is lovingly conceived and written. The collection reminds one a bit of E. B. White&rsquo;s Second Tree from the Corner.&lt;/p&gt;</p>
