“Little Mercy” is Robin Walter’s debut collection of poems and I am thrilled to host her at @506ehaley for a brief reading and conversation about her stunning work.
Co-Hosted with @chaucersbooks, we will have light refreshments, snacks, and “Little Mercy” available for purchase.
“Little Mercy” was selected by Victoria Chang as the winner of the 2024 Academy of American Poets First Book Award and was just named by Electric Lit as one of the Most Anticipated Debut Collections of 2025. Themes include ecological and mental health, climate change, and repair. Written out of a broken landscape in a broken time, Little Mercy is a book of gratitude, one that draws our inner selves to the present and living world, to the ways we can break and mend.
Advanced Praise for “Little Mercy”:
“When the reader encounters these poems on the page, time unfolds (and refolds, enfolds, foals, and foils) in their arrangements, and when the reader recites these poems, one can feel space bending and waning, waging their own little mercies aloud. Such music. Robin Walter sings.”—Kazim Ali
I hope you will join us Friday May 2nd at 6:30PM at 506 E Haley St for a sweet evening of feelings and words.
Please RSVP via the link below so we can be sure to have enough snacks for you! Robin and Madi are both very passionate about snacks.
