The Divine Word for a Different Universe
by Robyn Robinson
18-year-old poet Robyn Robinson publishes debut collection.
Writing on the Wall is proud to publish The Divine Word for a Different Universe, the debut poetry collection by 18-year-old poet Robyn Robinson.
Robyn recently visited Writing on the Wall’s Liverpool office to receive the very first copy of the collection. The moment was captured on film as they opened the parcel, held the finished book for the first time and read their poem, Syllabic Silliness.
Robyn is an autistic, non-binary young writer whose poems are full of wit, invention and playful experimentation with language. The collection brings together work that is funny, thoughtful and unmistakably Robyn’s own, combining wordplay, observation and a distinctive visual imagination.
The collection was designed by Ged Doyle, who worked closely with Robyn to develop the book’s visual identity, layout and overall feel. The finished publication reflects Robyn’s personality and creative approach, from its bold imagery and inventive presentation to the humour of the paperback cover, which simply reads ‘TITLE INSIDE.’
Robyn’s grandad, Simon, has supported them throughout the process, bringing them to meetings with Writing on the Wall and accompanying them to the sessions where they worked with Ged on the design.
His encouragement, commitment and practical support have played an important part in helping Robyn bring their ideas to life and become a published author.
