  • Fredegund, France
    Richard Robinson
    Fredegund, France is the second book of poetry written by American poet Richard Robinson. The poetry is both modern and not so modern. The theme is France, but a different kind of France than what one might visit today, or yesterday even. Itʼs a France in the mind. Or itʼs a place where France and the mind cross. In his own words, in the preface, the author says: 'What can I sa...

  • Windows and Doors
    Richard Robinson
    Windows and Doors is Richard Robinsonʼs third book of poetry, written between 2022 and 2024. The poetry is both modern and not so modern. You could compare it to a book of sacred and profane verse cowritten by Robert Herrick and Ezra Pound while both are half-inebriated and imitating Arnaut Daniel and Paul Verlaine (anachronically of course). A sample would be illustrative:I am...

    Theresa the Philosopher, by the marquis dʼArgens (purportedly), was published in 1748, over 270 years ago - before the modern era, before the Napoleonic phenomenon, before the Directorate, before the French Revolution. It is a happy tale with a happy ending, with not a little bit of hanky-panky slapped in between. Compared to Samuel Richardson’s Pamela, published in 1740, which...

  • The Soul of Napoleon
    Léon Bloy / Richard Robinson
    The Soul of Napoleon (Lʼâme de Napoléon, originally), by Léon Bloy, is a poem in prose on the great generalʼs achievements and greatness, but it is more than that, it is a re-assessment of his significance from a Catholic and a Catholic eschatological point of view, as perhaps no other writer than Léon Bloy could have put down on paper.

  • Blood of the Poor
    Léon Bloy / Richard Robinson
    Blood of the Poor (originally Le Sang du pauvre), by Catholic writer Léon Bloy, is perhaps the hardest to read of Léon Bloyʼs writings, as it goes straight to the heart of the matter of what is wrong in the world.

  • Salvation Through the Jews
    Léon Bloy / Richard Robinson
    'In these unprecedented times' (ugh) we need a prophet. But prophets are hard to come by in the flesh and blood, unless we unearth one from the modern or post-modern past, from our own graveyards preferably. If fusty, fetid, fecal, and fiery Léon Bloy cannot fit the bill, we donʼt know who can. Salvation Through the Jews picks up where certain apocalyptic, poetic, eschatologica...
