Poetry. Kit Robinson has been active as a poet, teacher, curator and performer on the San Francisco Bay Area poetry scene for 30 years. His most recent book of poems, 9:45, is a panegyric of encoded worlds which begins at the LCD readout and whirs elliptically towards the supernumerary. "Here, in the 'architecture' of clock time, commuting time, anytime, the daily metonymy points to process and revved-up consciousness"--Abigail Child. "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.
