“Rita” and “ScanXiety” from Once I was born to live nominated for Pushcart Prizes. Thanks, Robin. Honored.

New collection from Big Table Publishing

Preface by John Hodgen. Available in site Store.

A masterful wordsmith tells it like it was, like it is, and like it ought to be. Fox’s everlasting themes of time, nature, familial bonds, and existence are elegantly folded into each piece. His words are sharp, filled with deeply telling imagery and sentimentality. Fox doesn’t just write of people and places, he takes you there, and for just a moment you become a part of his life. Once I was born to live is a striking body of work that is written with the temerity of legacy.”   ~ Renuka Raghavan, Nothing Resplendent Lives Here
