"Tender Soil is a book that should be read and reread by every believer. Robin Richardson has poured his heart into this work and it shows in every chapter! It is one of those books that build truth upon truth, leading the reader to a deeper knowledge and relationship with Jesus Christ. Whether you are a mature believer or a maturing believer you will be inspired by the thoughtful insight displayed in this work! Read it, and live it!" Dr. John Waterloo Senior Pastor of Central Baptist Church Adjunct Professor Heartland Baptist Bible College There are nearly 200 references to ground in the Scriptures. Our Lord used the ground in parables to communicate many truths and principles. God reveals the truth that our thoughts give rise to all subsequent actions and words, like the growing of seeds in soil. Tender Soil shows how God emphasizes the importance of our thoughts. We will study Scripture that clearly reveal God using our thoughts, heart and mind as the soil that produces our words and actions. Our thoughts are tender soil. God's Word shows us how we can work and care for this precious soil, which is fundamental to our living faith. "Our thoughts are the soil that produces all words and actions, and within a spiritual context our thoughts can be used interchangeably with our heart and mind."

Power and sex take centre stage in Robin Richardson’s formidable third collection, Sit How You Want. Plane crashes and automobile mishaps are the backdrop for female narrators who grapple with terror, anxiety, and powerlessness: “When I say I’m fine I mean the sky has opened / like an old wound under scurvy.” In their grim wit, sinister straight talk, and sometimes violent bawdiness, Richardson’s poems work as counter-charms against the lingering trauma of abusive relationships, both familial and romantic. The book embodies a belief in poetry as an instrument of change, a tool for transforming pain into exuberant verbal energy: “It is the thrill of ruination / makes us innovate.”

Lovesick Stormtroopers, dowsing Girl Guides, movie stars, pool hustlers, and the mad queen Ranavalona . . . With Knife Throwing Through Self-Hypnosis, Robin Richardson charts a path through a surreal otherworld that is at once carnal and aerial, fine-grained and crude. Yearning, unapologetic women who delight in the monsters they’ve created make these poems a shield made of braids, / bassinet of broadswords,” and a ghost-like choir where a love affair / becomes a pulp-book, plotted perfectly to end.”

Knife Throwing Through Self-Hypnosis

ECW Press

Using line drawings, colour and text, Robin Richardson transposes the sensibility of poetry into illustrated works, creating bite-sized, artistic meditations on the terribly wonderful, malleable and absurd experience of being alive. Richardson's intuitive works -- inspired by medieval illuminated manuscripts -- are drawn from fleeting, conscious contact with various notions and emotions; they feel their way around meaning and what it is to be human. It's here, amongst animal imagery and Jungian psychological concepts, that the viewer can, if not careful, become lost in a collection of unsettling yet playful art: themes of loss, fear and euphoria are materially manifested through felt pen and pencil crayon. Within these works of art are scraps of consciousness, demons brought into the light of day and shared as if to say, clearly: you are not alone.

Pointing the Finger: Islam and Muslims in the British Media

The only detailed examination of how the British media treat Muslims Uncovering endemic racism in the British Media Ever since 9/11, Muslims and Islam have dominated the headlines in the UK. In this important book, several leading media commentators examine the phenomenon of ‘Islamophobia’ and ask how we can tackle it. Charting recent media controversies, from the Archbishop of Canterbury’s comments on Sharia law to the veil ‘debate’, the book argues that media hostility to Islam alienates Muslims and undermines efforts to combat extremism. With interviews from Muslim journalists and examples of press-fuelled myths about Islam in Britain, this is a captivating insight into how Muslims are depicted in the West.
