Ruby Robinson was born in 1985 and grew up in foster care in South Yorkshire. Her research explores the articulation / representation of affect (particularly that which can be attributed to developmental trauma) and the poetic process, focusing on key themes such as attunement, attachment and loss. The research draws on and responds to a range of interdisciplinary perspectives, including literary, neuroscientific, philosophical and anti-psychiatric, to reflect on the poetic process and to inform new creative work. Ruby is the author of one collection of poetry, Every Little Sound, published by Liverpool University Press in 2016.
