More recently, Robinson has been able to make visible a greater range of his writings, publishing a selection of his aphorisms called "Spirits of the Stair" in 2009, "Foreigners, Drunks and Babies: Eleven Stories" in 2013, a collection of prose poetry and memoirs called "The Draft Will" (2015) and his first novel, "September in the Rain" in 2016. His fiction, especially, has been warmly received, with David Cooke writing in "The London Magazine" that the collection of short stories is 'an impressive body of work that deserves to gain a wider readership', while Paula Byrne wrote that '"September in the Rain" is a novel of extraordinary beauty and courage', Jonathan Coe found in it 'a kind of redemption thanks to the tone or rueful, quizzical honesty', and Giles Foden saw it as 'a triumph of style, its sentences being assayed with a poet's feeling for the weight of each word.' In an early review, Ian Brinton described it on his "Tears in the Fence" blog for 29 August 2016 as 'a stunningly moving novel'. [https://tearsinthefence.com/blog/]
