Welcome to Poet in the Park

Hello!  I’m Garrett Buhl Robinson.  In 2012, I began promoting my books directly to the public on the streets of Manhattan.  This has developed into my own publishing company - Poet in the Park.  In addition to the publication of my books, I also adapted my works for the stage and perform my solo shows Off-Broadway.  I hope you enjoy checking out my books and please join my email list for notifications of my future publications and performances.  

Liberty Bell

This epic poem tells the story of the war for independence from April 19, 1775 through 1783.

Songs for Walt

This book celebrates the life and art of Walt Whitman.  The book depicts his experiences in the Civil War and is the complement of my previous collection Whispering Emily.  Each book can be read independently, but together they compose an elaborate intertextual dialog to commemorate the two greatest American poets.

Ballet Lessons

My new collection is a cycle of 98 sonnets celebrating the majestic excellence of Ballet.  

Pilgrims

This epic poem depicts the events that transpired between 1620 and 1627 with the settlement of Plymouth by the Pilgrims.

Whispering Emily

These poems celebrate the life and art of Emily Dickinson.  The book consists of 8 narrative poems composed in heroic quatrains that depict episodes of Ms. Dickinson’s life.   Additional lyrical poems open and close the collection.

Satires

This lighthearted collection of verse pokes fun at artificial intelligence, the delicate tastes of aesthetics, the fine art of poetry and the poet himself – along with other topics of frolicsome fun. 

Each poem is illustrated with my own graphic designs.
