<\/span>Jane Robinson <\/strong> lives in Dublin. Her recent collection Island and Atoll<\/i> (Salmon, 2023), ‘alternates enthralling visions of the natural world with poems that explore how the loss of our environment disorientates us at the level of sense and meaning’ wrote Jessica Traynor in the Irish Times. ‘These are formally ambitious, compelling poems which refine and refresh the Irish eco-poetic tradition.’ Jane’s first collection Journey to the Sleeping Whale<\/i> (Salmon, 2018) received the Shine-Strong Award. Other recognitions include the Strokestown International Poetry Prize. <\/p>\n
