About
Robin Pickering (she/they) is a yogi, queerpunk guitarist, and chronically ill human who is perfectly happy to be a misfit. she lit-magged her way through her schooling years in rural maine and not so rural poughkeepsie. upon graduating from Vassar college, she jumped right into educational publishing and the definitely not rural nyc.
robin detoured for almost 20 years as a yoga teacher, writing and playing music on the side. she is now working on a Neurodivergent-ISH memoir, ATOMIC. A meditator and only child, she’s just as comfortable at a loud punk show as she is alone in silence.
