Robin ScofieldA native of Austin, Texas, who grew up just north of Dallas, Robin Scofield is the author of Flow, named Southwest Book of the Year in 2019, and Sunflower Cantos, from Mouthfeel Press, which received advance praise from Jennifer Clement, author of Pryers for the Stolen: "Sunflower Cantos feels like an ecstatic channeling, as if this poet had conjured our ancient, sacred word-hoard. These are stunning, mysterious poems."
