About the author

Robin Kirk

​​​​​​​I’m the author of numerous books, short stories, essays, and poems. <em>Righting Wrongs: 20 Human Rights Heroes around the World</em>, a nonfiction book for kids, is available from Chicago Review Press. Book reviewer @hollymbryan hailed my young adult fantasy, The Bond Trilogy, as "an incredible adventure with amazing characters in an often cruel world... [the books tackle] big themes such as what it means to be human, to experience love (of all kinds), and to be truly free."&nbsp;<em>The Bond (winner of the 2018 Foreward Bronze award) and The Hive Queen have new covers, interior design, and content. </em>My short story, “Home,” is included in the September 2021 issue of Luna Station Quarterly. My poem, “Imperator Furiosa posts a status update,” is included in the 2017 <em>Nasty Women Poets Anthology of Subversive Verse</em> (Lost Horse Press). I've also published two non-fiction books. I teach human rights at Duke University.
