Anna Robinson
Anna Robinson has been writing poetry for some time
and in 2001 was the first recipient of the Poetry School Scholarship.
A former tutor in prisons, Anna is one of the regular
poetry judges for the Koestler Competition.
She has an MA from Ruskin College in Oxford in
Public History and currently works part time for Lambeth as the
borough's local history librarian.
Her first publication is 'Songs from the Flats'
(Hearing Eye). Set on a housing estate in South London, it explores
themes of home and rebellion within an urban dream-time.
Wayne Burrows describes Anna Robinson's poetry
as achieving 'perfectly the public world lodged in the lyrical ' (Poetry London).
'Songs from the Flats' was selected
by the Poetry Book Society as their Winter Quarter Pamphlet Choice 2005/6.
