Poet Kit Robinson’s Thought Balloon is part of his continuing experiment with what’s occurring for him right now while he’s writing. “Time is scenes. / Cut the deck / And lay the cards down one by one.” Yet Thought Balloon is not shoot-from-the-hip writing. The thoroughness of Robinson’s investigation of the moment produces countless themes and times, multiple scales and languages, frequent among the common speech of a west coast bard in his prime thinking back to Pleistocene predators.
Kit Robinson was born in Evanston, Illinois, grew up in Cincinnati, went to Yale, and has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area ever since. He is the author of Leaves of Class, Marine Layer, A Mammal of Style (with Ted Greenwald) (Roof), Determination, The Messianic Trees: Selected Poems, 1976-2003, and more than 20 other books of poetry.
