Description
Poetry. California Interest. "Like Whitman, Kit Robinson celebrates himself, the world, and the amplitude of time. In LEAVES OF CLASS, we are treated to poetic clarity and a sense of rectitude. Whimsical forays into the boundaries of meaning and language, 'You could say poetry publicity puberty probity,' he characterizes planetary currents, of which he knows he is an intrinsic part, as 'vertiginous, lofty, cerebral, lazy, and light.' In this collection, Robinson leaves the ecology of self to discover new wilderness. Powerful stuff." —Anne Tardos
