Description We propose measurements of the deeply virtual Compton amplitude (DVCS) gamma* -> h (h) over bar gamma in the timelike t = (p(h) + p((h) over bar))(2) > 0 kinematic domain which is accessible at electron-positron colliders via the radiative annihilation process e(+)e(-) -> h (h) over bar gamma. These processes allow the measurement of timelike deeply virtual Compton scattering for a variety of h (h) over bar hadron pairs such as pi(+),pi(-), K(+)K(-), and D (D) over bar as well as p (p) over bar. As in the conventional spacelike DVCS, there are interfering coherent amplitudes contributing to the timelike processes involving C = - form factors. The interference between the amplitudes measures the phase of the C = + timelike DVCS amplitude relative to the phase of the timelike form factors and can be isolated by considering the forward-backward e(+) e(-) asymmetry. The J = 0 fixed pole contribution which arises from the local coupling of the two photons to the quark current plays a special role. As an example we present a simple model.
