JULIA ROBINSON

THURSDAY 20TH JUNE

Rebel's Way - a book by Gwyneth Francis

At Glossop Labour Club, 7.30-9 p.m. Julia Robinson will tell us about her book collections, ‘On Intimacy’, ‘Bedtime Stories for Adults’, her poetry books and offer copies for sale. Admission Free!

Julia began writing in Greece as a way to express herself living in a place where she knew no-one nor could speak the local language. Transitions can be tough but they also give us the gift of amplifying the inner world so to catch glimpses of ourselves. Hence sprang forth ‘Here, Now’ a book of poetry about being tingling alive. Her return to the UK after travelling and living for decades around the globe, brought forth another book, ironically about ‘Intimacy with Self, with Other and with That which is more than us’. Covid arrived and found Julia in Latvia where she revelled in the sudden space to be creative. Having given herself the challenge to write about depth psychology in an accessible way, she began creating the drawn pages of the 5 books in the series ‘Bedtime Stories for Adults’ which visually depict themes from our collective inner worlds, such as the perils of perfectionism, the absurdity of judgement, the bliss of forgiveness, making our lives into our own life, and the growth in connecting to the inner void. She endeavours essentially to write about what it is to be alive as messy human beings.
