Sure, they probably miss a bunch of stuff, but when they do send out a grant, it&#8217;s pretty much guaranteed to be a worthwhile read. This is a collection of stories, mostly about Robyn&#8217;s childhood. She shares a few moments, including her skin problems, blue poop and drawing comics as a child. Then it gets a bit cute, at least in appearance, with some stories involving a repressed bunny in love. The strongest piece in the book though was &#8220;Bathe&#8221; (keep in mind that this review is from a person who just went through a tough break-up). It&#8217;s a silent piece of Robyn taking a bath. While she&#8217;s bathing her mind wanders back to a time when she was in that tub with an old boyfriend. It&#8217;s a poignant and moving piece, and not a word is needed. A great book all around. Most of you have have probably already seen this, as it came out a few years ago, but if you haven&#8217;t you should definitely check it out. It&#8217;s $2.95, contact info is up there&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/theater12.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"466\" height=\"707\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Theater of the Meek Whoever is on that Xeric jury, kudos.
