2019/20: Anna Robinson presents the online radio show The Poetry Parlour (Soho Radio)
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 as a Reader Development 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. This was selected by the Poetry Book Society as their Pamphlet Choice in Winter 2005/6. Anna is one of the poets to be included in the next Oxford Poets edition from Oxford/Carcanet. Anna has had a number of poetry residencies, working with children, older people, the learning disabled and prisoners. She has performed and run workshops at a number of festivals including Lambeth Readers and Writers Festival and Poetry Street (Stoke Newington). She was poet in residence on Lower Marsh for the South Bank Centre's Trading Places project, part of Poetry International 2006. She co-runs Poetry Parlour at Crockatt and Powell bookshop with Fawzia Kane. Wayne Burrows describes Anna Robinson's poetry as achieving 'perfectly the public world lodged in the lyrical' (Poetry London).
