Name: A woman of property
Rating: 3 (1 reviews)
Author: Robyn Schiff

"A Woman of Property" gathers a series of poems that interrogate the limits of property—both literal and figurative—using images of decaying houses, overgrown gardens, and shifting borders. Schiff’s verse confronts the tension between the material and the spiritual, the past and the present, questioning how walls and gates both protect and imprison. The work invites readers into a contemplative space where the act of writing itself becomes a threshold to a realm of possibility and resistance.
