Synopsis

"Kit Robinson's new Roof book, Balance Sheet, includes, besides the long-lined title poem, the one-word-to-a-line four-lines-to-a-stanza poems of "Ice Cubes II" and the variously-composed numbered lyric poems that comprise the opening sequence, "Counter Meditation." The three sections of the book, though almost alarmingly discrete, do, at the same time, compose a balanced sheet. This balance, and its happy control, is one of the enduring charms of Robinson's latest book. Balance Sheet is just that, a various, wry look at apparent life both inside and out at midpoint, balanced in the battering flux of myriad informations, all as "right" and "wrong" as ever. Kit Robinson's reflective work is articulate and compelling witness to the ominous signs of our time."- Robert Creeley
