Five star review. Robin Morgan's "magnum opus." Truly her finest work to date––and that's saying something. The poem "This Dark Hour" in Dark Matter is worth the price of this book on its own. Her TED lecture where she read four of these poems was powerful to say the least, but reading them oneself brings the power of these poems home. Can't recommend this enough. Sara McGuiness, Amazon.com
Five star review. This is one of Morgan’s most reflective poetry. Even if the underpinning subject is “dark” there are luminous shadows amidst the texts. It is a frankly wise and short discourse on the end of matter, pain and joy of living. And yes, political as well in its deepest sense. I frankly recommend its reading and sharing. Isel Rivero, Amazon.com
In her new collection, Dark Matter, Robin Morgan explores themes that have been prevalent throughout her life as she details her experiences in ageing and her diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. The collection starts with her beautiful poem, The Magician and The Magician’s Assistant where she invites the reader into her thoughts and her sense of self. Much of the collection invites the reader to look at their perceptions of ageing and death and focuses on her love of poetry and words.
..Robin hones her craft through these pages and has said herself that she thinks this is her best published poetry collection to date. She chooses her words with careful thought and explores her ideas passionately. Her love for poetry inspires a beautiful sense of wonder and awe in this poet and ignites a fire in the feminist in us all.
..Dark Matter by Robin Morgan is an absolute masterpiece and should be shared with everyone willing to listen. Nik Shone, Other Terrain
In Dark Matter, her seventh poetry collection, Morgan cannily exploits poetry’s ability to be both metaphoric and direct. The voice is often conversational and anecdotal, at other times it is layered and allusive. What drives the collection is a deep and passionate intensity, which only a life spent in endless interrogation and interaction with self and world can achieve and sustain. Patricia Skyes, Live Encounters
