Review of Keeps on Running by Ben Robinson
Keeps on Running
by Ben Robinson
The Alfred Gustav Press, 2020
In his poem “Welcome to the Shitshow,” Robinson’s speaker stares up at the night sky like “someone in a science fiction movie/ who is about to die.” Robinson’s poems are about the bus schedule, robocalls, a cylinder of platinum-iridium that weighs exactly one kilogram. Scams and walking the dog in the early morning. They record a kind of irreverent domesticity, and are confident and sure, even when the speaker is blown by the wind “so hard that I get hit by a car.”
