The back catalogue

Also by Robinanne.

A working life in words - poetry, textbooks and the long road to Life Sorted.

Life Sorted by Robinanne Lavelle. Cover shows two head silhouettes, a tangled red one labelled "before" and an organised blue one labelled "after".

Life Sorted

2026

An eight-session course in book and audio form. Eight gentle sessions, eighteen exercises and eight guided meditations recorded in Robinanne's own voice. Life Sorted distils nearly fifty years of practice into something you can fold into the kitchen-table life you already lead.

The Road Awaits

2022 · co-authored with Joan Elkington

A collection of poems, photographs and stories from a family on the road across Australia, in the days before the highway was sealed across the Nullarbor. Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia. The desert at night, the grapes of the Barossa, the shipwrecks of the rugged west coast.

If Life Sorted is the cuppa across the kitchen table, The Road Awaits is the long view out the bus window.

I am not listing these to impress you, and I am certainly not asking you to read them all. I share them so you know that Life Sorted did not appear out of thin air. Every chapter of the new book is standing on the shoulders of the older ones.
