Robb Jackson
Living on the Hurricane Coast
(Panther Creek Press 2003)

Publisher's comments:
Living on the Hurricane Coast contains poems that stem from Jackson’s transition from his northern roots to South Texas. The poems originate from Jackson’s daily journal writing and are informed by close observation of the place he now calls home, Corpus Christi and the surrounding Coastal Bend of the Gulf of Mexico, including Padre Island. These are poems that create a vivid sense of place and of place transformed by seasons, weather, storms, and light. They trace also the ways in which we can be changed and affected by our natural environs, especially if, like Jackson, we take the time to look at and give voice to what surrounds us.

Dr. Jackson is Professor of English at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi
