Description
George David Clark's new book of poems is as much a musical event as it is a literary one. This poet truly listens to every last word he sets to paper-good luck resisting the urge to give voice to these poems as you read them! A treasure of a book." - Amit Majmudar "Clark's poems are precise and memorable-songs in which deep feeling provokes startlingly fresh language. They are passionate poems, and the music that they make is true to the experience, reliably so, and amply." - David Yezzi "Clark's beautiful and moving second collection of poems, Newly Not Eternal, is a wonderful showcase for his formidable formal talents. The subtle display of formal variations here enhances his deeply contemplative project-that of interrogating faith with a poet's ear and eye and a generous, open heart." - Sidney Wade
