Published in 1920, this collection gathers some of Robinson’s finest short poems, among them “The Mill,” with its quietly devastating farm tragedy, and “The Dark Hills.” Longer dramatic monologues give voice to St. Paul approaching Rome at the Three Taverns, to the Wandering Jew and to others wrestling with failure, faith and the democracy of “Demos.”
