Student Publishes Book of Poems



Robyn Suchy is a 16 years old student who already has a published book. Robyn is part of the Young Poets Mentoring Program established in 2007 by Poet Laureate Dr. David Azelrod. This program gives students the opportunity to publish their first book of poems.

Robyn’s love for writing poetry began in her ninth-grade English class where her eyes were opened to writing. “My writing reflects things I have seen like political stuff, the environment and high school friendships.” Robyn is a student at Smithtown H.S. East where her ELA teachers James Kelly, Debbie Baione-Doda and Anton Kirchenko had a profound influence on her work.

Upon graduation, she hopes to attend the University of New Haven or Goucher College. In her spare time, she does a lot of reading and plays the guitar.

A collection of Robyn’s poems can be found in the book, “Stairwells and Window Frames” published by Writers Ink Press.
