Overview
The poems in this latest collection from Scottish poet Thomas Clarke form part of an ongoing project of reparation: a series of small acts of attention, repeated attempts to step outside the circle of human concern and into a wider responsibility to the natural world. The spaces between poems evoke the quietness around worlds and things, while the poems themselves appear as momentary associations, or pauses on a walk. Yellow & Blue invites readers to share the spaciousness of a journey and to share in the exactness and clarity of Clarke’s perception.Reviews
