I will always put updates here
This world began on September 22, 2025, and the first 100 days followed a structured creative practice. Each week was guided by a central theme and included:
Poetry
One analytical essay
One personal essay
One article for a poem of the week
And every other week, a piece from my TV anthology
This opening period formed the foundation of the project (check out my about page for more information).
itsrobenia is…
literature that honors individualism, metaphysics, and spirituality within an artistic exploration of the ocean motif.
The TV Anthology
Every other week, I publish a written “snapshot” of a television episode as an intuitive reading. I like to think of it as writing with “rose colored” glasses. This anthology intrigues me, and I’m committed to it. It will eventually become something greater, but bear with me through this rough patch.
The Poetry (Rotagraphy)
Much of the poetry uses global poetic forms and exists within a larger narrative cartography. The poems appear nonlinear on the site, but the organized narrative order exists in the Rotagraphy Forms section for founding members (I may change this to be for paid subscribers).
Most poems and essays here are draft-stage work, part of an ongoing creative process. Conversations about poetic form, lineage, and cultural context are addressed in my books.
A Helpful Starting Point
If you’re new here, I’d recommend beginning with:
(an excerpt from the final essay in Metanoia)
a short fictional story that serves as the prelude to my upcoming epic, Requite
The Trilogy
The finished, revised versions of the work being developed here exist in my trilogy:
Limina: personal essay collection (my interior process)
Susurrus: poetry collection (expanded and in meter)
Metanoia: essay collection (analysis/synthesis)
They are available through my shop. Consider this trilogy to be the myth behind Requite.

About Requite
Beginning March 20, 2026, I will release one chapter of Requite per month here.
Eventually, it will become a complete book. If you prefer finished work, you’re welcome to wait for publication.
