Robin Lim
ABOUT THE POET
Robin Lim is a grandmother, poet, and midwife. Following in the tradition of her own Filipino lola, Vicenta Munar Lim, a hilot, she sits at the doorway between life and death, gently tearing and biting angel’s wings. Her work is blue as first breath and as ephemeral. Lim lives with her musician husband and eight gifted children in the traditional village of Nyuh Kuning, Ubud, Bali, Indonesia, where she is intimately involved in a natural-birth community clinic. In 2006 Lim was given the Alexander Langer International Peace Award. Since 1976 “Ibu” Robin and her family have kept a home in Fairfield, Iowa. Photo (c) Margo Berdeshevsky
“Robin Lim is what we all should strive to be – a great, abundant, generous, warm and tirelessly running faucet of humanity and grace.”
