Overview

__ In the hyperactive urban loud, the possibilities of slowness, a sense of the sacred seem like quaint curiosities or period pieces. They are not. There is a quiet, meticulous, fragile world that coexists with our own dailiness. We have the capacity for looking and listening to it. 'Highly recommended. These are lyric poems different from anything I've read before - full of transcendent music and vision. The extraordinary thing is how religious they feel without being religious in an obvious or conventional way. Intriguing!' - Tom Adair 'A spanish stonemason asks: when is a stone properly placed? And he answers his own question: when my impatience to once more readjust it has vanished. Jeremy Clarke writes like a spanish stonemason; his poems are housed, towers, bridges...' - John Berger 'To think, to feel, and then to tell of what we felt and thought is truly the work of the poet. But to speak about silence, to speak of the fullness of emptiness and the beauties, the subtleties of stillness in the presence of power, this is rare. Jeremy Clarke does this, with humility and grace, a timeless watching and working into being human on Earth, a telling of that, a revealing for the rest of us who don't have the words.' - Emily Young __
