What beauty might happen when we jump without knowing where we might land? How might we change if we believe there is nothing wrong? In Eve Was a Realist, Fiona Robertson wrestles with essential questions and invites us to wrestle with them, too. She meets fear, freedom, suffering, and love. This book is a beautiful invitation to dance with our own humanness and see through our veils into grace. Rosemerry Wahtola TrommerAuthor of All the Honey, Hush and Exploring Poetry of Presence II As tender as it is uncompromising, Fiona Robertson's poetry is alive to the shades and subtleties of the human condition in all its miraculous wonder, as well as its earth-shattering pain. Throughout this distinctive collection, her voice dances openly between the darkness and the light with a nuance that defies any attempts at categorisation, immersing the reader in a world of heart and mind that asserts the raw, wild presence we come to know through our experience despite its many traumas and imperfections. C.W. BlackburnAuthor of Where Words Are Yet To Be Spoken: Poems for Presence Eve Was a Realist evokes the visceral feeling of the magic and futility found in the simple, profound, colorful, and somber moments that make up a human life. The words guide us to the simple cottage of the human heart, in the way that only poetry can. Fiona Robertson's poems are love letters to our humanity and our efforts to understand what it means to know ourselves as both the great mystery and the big brave work of embodiment. I feel deep gratitude that Fiona has expressed her journey in this way and has shared it with us. C. Abigail PingreeAuthor of Completion: A Memoir Throughout these pages, Fiona Robertson invites the reader to reside in the intimacy of her exquisite, deeply personal and simultaneously transrational unfolding. We are guided into the liminal space between the known and the unknown-into the gap between thoughts-to join a kindred soul in a sustainable shared inquiry. ""In this mystical space, intellectual reasoning flounders and linear time veers off its tracks."" Fiona's words sing like windchimes!
