Robin T Dake
United States

Robin is a mother, daughter, friend, writer, and photographer who believes in the healing power of poetry, good chocolate and an afternoon nap. She graduated from the University of Georgia with a journalism degree but really learned how to write by BEING a journalist. She has worked for both daily newspapers and local radio stations. 

She spent most of her career working as a journalist or non-profit manager while writing essays and poems on the side. Awash in checklists and structure, poetry became a way for Robin to express the swirling feelings inside that refused to fit the words in her everyday life. 

She showcases her poetry on her Instagram account @poetryonthecouch. Her work has also appeared in Amaranth Journal, Snapdragon Journal, Amethyst ReviewThis I Believe radio program and in Trailway News magazine She lives in N.E. Georgia, USA with two hoodlum cats.
