    <![CDATA[Robert Krut’s recent pamphlet of poetry is a sweet tome-poem on the illusory character of shifting lives, our scary and shifty lives. The work is consoling, lovely and memorable. <br/> <br/><br/>— Norman Dubie <br/> <br/><br/>There’s wit and wonder in both the light and the darkness of these lyrics, and more wonder at how effortlessly Krut connects the intimate with the immense, building ‘door inside eyesight.’ Theory of the Walking Big Bang is a remarkable and original collection of poems.<br/><br/>—Beckian Fritz Goldberg <br/><br/><br/> <br/><br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[Robert Krut’s new collection of poems, The Spider Sermons, bears lyric exactness and compassion into a new world of memory crossed with most things existential.  There is a sense of what is being seen here as with afterimages in an electrical storm. This is a brilliant book.      —Norman Dubie      These poems weave the urbane twists of highways and skyscrapers with the turns and foibles of love. Robert Krut delivers a precipice city, a galactic (but not preachy) spider, a narrator who sometimes wears a sandwich board.  In a world where “everything is becoming something else and drifting apart,” he praises the quirky tenacity of the imagination.      —Laurie Kutchins      With a winning mixture of verve and tenderness, the poems in The Spider Sermons confront the extreme significance of our daily lives. It’s the most passionate of come-ons, but with the kindest of intentions.    —Kazim Ali]]>
