This is what comes of taking dreams / off the horizon. It is the sun / or nothing else, you would scream / if you weren't caught up in the chorus.Leaning deliberately on the imagined while scrutinizing reality and hoping for the as-yet-unseen, Unmet is a poetry collection that explores themes of frustration, justice, and thwarted rescue from a perspective that is Black-Latinx, Canadian, immigrant, and female. Drawing on a wide range of poetics, from Wallace Stevens to Tony Hoagland and Diane Seuss, roberts's musically-driven narrative surrealism confronts such timely issues as police brutality, respectability politics, intimate partner, and ecological crisis, and considers the might-have-been alongside the what could be, negotiating the past without losing hope for the future.

The Melting Potential of Fire is a contemplation of love within the challenges of freedom and competing solitudes. Part travelogue and part love letters, these evocative verses highlight the glowing landscape of Italy, with the sights and sounds of Amalfi, Salerno, Furore, Capri, Rome, Florence and Incisa.The author was reading Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters To A Young Poet during these travels, and Rilke's meditations on solitude influence these verses.
