Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. Kit Robinson's many books include BALANCE SHEET, ICE CUBES, WINDOWS, and CHAMPAGNE OF CONCRETE (all available from SPD). His translation from the Russian of Ilya Kutik's ODE ON VISITING THE BELOSARAISK SPIT ON THE SEA OF AZOV was hailed by Charles Simic as truly magnificent. About DEMOCRACY BOULEVARD, Steve Evans comments: DEMOCRACY BOULEVARD is the accident-strewn one-way street studded with industrial parks and hospitality suites that dead-ends just in front of the fortress of Consolidated Capita. Grammar a theater / of parts / moving across the sky // It's been that way a long time / since when / since right now // Clarity / standing up quietly / to magic (Art In The Age Of Electronic Reproduction). Robinson has served as literature director at New Langton Arts in San Francisco and is public relations director at PeopleSoft.
