“Robert Emmons left the corporate world to become a teacher and a poet…He writes about the impersonalness of corporate life, the frantic pace of ‘the mobile society’ struggling to water the money tree, the babel of meaningless words at a party, the remembrance of weekend love on a Monday morning in the office amid letters and memos. Emmons also writes about some of the rejuvenating experiences of life―a day at the beach, a mountain walk, the building of sand castles. Even here, however, his poems reflect the loneliness and destruction which he sees in society.”
