Robin Lippincott

Hi, I'm Robin. My friend Julia Watts and I have written a book together, RUFUS + SYD. It will be out in spring 2016. Robin Lippincott, like the main characters in the novel he and Julia Watts wrote together (Rufus + Syd), grew up in a rural hellhole, Central Florida in his case. The only good thing about his childhood was that at one point he had 23 cats, all of which had to live outside (his mother’s rules). He escaped as soon as he could and has lived in the Boston area ever since, where he is a walker in the city (and a bicycler, and a subway and bus rider), but where he has no cats (his partner is allergic). Robin is so proud of his most recent book, Blue Territory: A Meditation on the Life and Art of Joan Mitchell. He has also published three novels and a short story collection. He has received multiple fellowships to Yaddo (the artists’ colony), as well as a fellowship to The MacDowell Colony. He teaches in the low-residency Master of Fine Arts in Writing Program at Spalding University. https://www.facebook.com/robin.lippincott.1
