Tom Clark

Canyonesque Tom Clark

Poetry. The place he writes from, of void/non-void overlap, is a pure arena for the imagination to play in; and Clark is likewise pure: austere, bleak, exalted too...shimmering as ever.--Alice Notley

Clark's exactitudes of diction generate and inform the imagination...finally it is only poetry that is capable of saving such extensive cultural memory from the vortex of history.--Edward Dorn
