striving for democracy and freedom of speech for all
he saw himself not just as nature’s faithful chronicler and recorder but as its medium: light
These intoxicating and fine-sprung poems instantly place Clement in the front rank of Traveller writers

Afterlife: New & Selected Poems by Polly Clark Ilya Kaminsky to put / his footPolly Clark's poetry inhabits a world that is strange, unsettling, and edged with danger. Her debut, Kiss (2000), journeys inward, exploring the self with an unflinching gaze, before Take Me with You (2005) turns outward to question how we connect with others, with the wider world, with the unknown. In these collections, her characters, both human and animal, speak in many voices, illuminating the moments when we are most alive and most alone.
