The Children of the Night (Barnes & Noble Digital Library‪)‬

Poet Louise Bogan called this 1897 volume ''one of the hinges upon which American poetry was able to turn from the sentimentality of the 90's toward modern veracity and psychological truth."  The collection, Robinson's second, caught the eye of President Theodore Roosevelt in 1905, who was instrumental in providing the impoverished poet a much-needed sinecure.
