Our successes in life define who we are to the world at large, and by this Franklin W. Robinson is known as the long term Director of the Johnson Art Museum at Cornell University where he presided over many decades of flourishing development and expansive community connections.

But we are all more than the central role of our lives, and Mr. Robinson is no exception.  His interest in the arts extended to the art of words - poetry - and in this medium his prolific works deserve attention.  This website serves to display the breadth and depth of his artistic vision of life and the world around him.  We hope you will enjoy these words as the world enjoys the works hanging in the gallery he devoted his days creating.
