Off the coast of Cape Cod lies a small windswept Island called Penikese.
He lives in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.
He holds degrees from Middlebury College and the Breadloaf School of English.
About author(s): Daniel Robb , a carpenter and writer, has been an editor of academic journals; a teacher in Mississippi, New York, and Massachusetts; a political consultant; and the proprietor of a literary services business.
Lyrical and heartfelt, Crossing the Water is the Memoir of his first Eighteen Months on Penikese, and a poignant meditation on the many ways that young men can become lost.
But as Robb discovers, peace, solitude, and a structured lifestyle can go only so far toward healing the anger and hurt he finds not only in his students but within himself.
By turns harsh, desolate, and starkly beautiful, the Island offers its temporary residents respite from lives filled with abuse, violence, and chaos.
Alone on the Island is a school for juvenile delinquents, the Penikese Island School, where Daniel Robb lived and worked for three years as a teacher.
