Born in Evanston, Illinois, Robinson is a graduate of Yale College. In 1974, he published the one‐shot poetry magazine Streets and Roads, where for the first time work by such poets as Barrett Watten, Ron Silliman, Rae Armantrout, and Bob Perelman appeared alongside that of Alan Bernheimer, Steve Benson, Carla Harryman and Merrill Gilfillan. In the 1970s and 1980s, he performed with San Francisco Poets Theater, produced “In the American Tree: New Writing by Poets,” a weekly radio program of live readings and interviews on KPFA radio in Berkeley with Lyn Hejinian, and curated the Tassajara Bakery poetry reading series Tom Mandel.
He has published seventeen books of poetry, including, The Crave (2002 Atelos) and most recently an anthology of his work entitled The Messianic Trees: Selected 1976-2003 Poems (2008 Adventures in Poetry). His work has also appeared in numerous anthologies and magazines.

Listen is an experimental zine and online publication which features more of the best new poetry from Detroit and beyond. As a publication, Listen likes to mix well-established poets with emerging and unknown poets/songwriters, supporting innovation as well as that which has been sustained by our predecessors.

poem from being. still
723
the pitch of the world around us
she says, rest some
turn it off
like my im-pulses
were a radio
we should tune
walking outside
my house moves
on two legs
there’s a goat
and birds singing
for their supper
the world I live in
a field of stars
shooting a current
into the earth
raising worms
a song before we’re all eaten
a gift
this
acoustic pilgrimage
helps me sleep
holds me
and keeps me, awake
enough
to listen
if my sole creative act
were that
note from editor
Being. Still, by Jhon Clark encompasses new literary forms that we here at white print inc are looking forward to be representing both locally and around the country from new writers. At Clarks’ release poets Nandi Comer, Kim Hunter, and I read to celebrate the opening of this new press.
