9:45

By Kit Robinson

The obvious and sublte realtiy of the numerical entity is noted with both humor and insight by Kit Robinson in 9:45.

In short timed lines he shows how omnipresent is this intersection of the mysterious, abstract, yet concrete world of the 'number' with everyday life.

—Joanne Kyger

Kit Robinson's new 9:45 has arrived--American energy braked by reason in wit's clothes on 21st Century City ramp-up. Here, in the "architecture" of clock time, communting time, anytime, the daily metonymy points to process and revved-up consciousness--"as they say/ Almost human." Whistling sporty, muscular quizzical, these poems suggest a Quixote debriefing subplots, or Zen henchman posting human zip codes, dynamite sure sentence heroics, skilled and firecely generous.
