About Me

Robbi N.: It feels odd to tell people, when they ask you what you do, that you are a poet. It is of course not a proper profession, if by "proper" one means a job that brings in money. It is most certainly an occupation though. Reading, writing, going to poetry events make up a sizable percentage of my life.
