	Miles Durrance on Mary Robinson's The Haunted Beach
		Mary's earliest works were to be published in the old vein of gathering financial sponsorship in order to send a volume to the presses and then distribute it (her first volume, 1775's Poems, was partially sponsored by the Duchess of Devonshire [Wu 178]).
		The scandalous Mary Robinson's work fell out of favor with the onset of the Victorian era, but the sensational aspects of her life and career have recently rekindled the interest of critics in the life and output of this multi-faceted talent (Chancey Website bio.).
		Robinson lived to transcend such early bad press and the rest of her poetry seems to be on a similar course in winning convincing modern critics as to validity of her talents versus the sensationalism of her associations.

		Robinson was the first head of State to visit Rwanda in the aftermath of the genocide there… While in Rwanda, she met representatives of, and was briefed by, agencies on the ground, as well as by the United Nations Human Rights Monitors.
		However, for Robinson, a massacre is the deaths of seven Palestinian civilians in a war zone (47 Palestinian militants and 23 Israel soldiers also died).
		The world still waits for Robinson to use her bully pulpit to call for an investigation of the terrorist murder of Jews (but then again, such an inquiry might lead uncomfortably close to UNRWA and European Union officials).
