Book Synopsis
This collection of poems, selected from Robertson's large oeuvre and recent uncollected work, expresses the realities of life in the modern American West; its irony, disconnection, sadness and relentless quest for meaning and a sense of place.

Trade Review
Just Past Labor Day not only illustrates his development as an artist but also reminds readers that Nevada’s loneliest roads are found in the heart and not the highway.” -Reno Gazette Journal

“These poems go to the heart of the matter, privately but unabashedly. The urgent task now is finding once more our home among the elements. Kirk Robertson’s poems show how it’s done, in the light and wind of the desert, and in the weather of his own feelings.” -Andrei Codrescu, author of Bibliodeath
