The Messianic trees : selected 1976-2003 poems

It's hard to account for the particular magic of Kit Robinson's work, which is understated to the point of being laconic, never seems to worry much about presenting itself as "poetic," and slips without any apparent effort from puns to jokey asides to densely rhymed wordplay to philosophical quiddities to emotionally open "truth statements" in a way that doesn't privilege any one tone over another: they're all treated as natural parts of the poem, which in turn gets treated less like a precious verbal object than as a heightened perception of the everyday. --Rodney Koeneke.
