Sunflower Cantos

By Robin Scofield

Poetry. "The archetypal characters of Raven and Cantalily, Crow and Coyote shimmer like highway mirages in this wild and witchy book of poems. SUNFLOWER CANTOS is a book of poems as horoscopes and spells, prayers and incantations, as if the skeleton woman had stepped out of Native American pictographs and the Hanged Man left the Tarot deck to jazz along alienated highways, speaking riddles and catalytic converters, cactus wrens and well-oiled sprockets. Dustdevil and Jack of Diamonds, Medusa, Spider Woman and Fool, are sitting next to you at the bar in these poems, ready to whisper something in your ear. In SUNFLOWER CANTOS, Robin Scofield has let a deep voice through her, a strange voice, like nothing else in the world. There she goes, diving into the wreck of America and scavenging pieces of the myth. Follow her down into the blue. It's very interesting down here." Tony Barnstone "SUNFLOWER CANTOS feels like an ecstatic channeling, as if this poet had conjured our ancient, sacred wordhoard. These are stunning, mysterious poems." Jennifer Clement"
