Passage to Indigo
$19.95
This is poetry that dismisses current notions of “the fallacy of the authorial self,” that rejects the trendy usurpation of Humanism. How quickly the personal returns when one stands at the bedside of a dying parent, or holds a convulsing child: death, love, terror, beauty — these are constants in language and in the heart, now matter what else changes.
Poetry; 1996 • 6 x 9 inches • PB 85 pages • 9781550960525
“John Clarke is a rare beast among poets, a man obsessed by death, a man who lives with the ghosts of his family tree, a man who speaks in many voices, a surrealist, a metaphysical satirist, and an intellectual to boot. A mature poet, whose reputation is increasing across the country.” —Joe Rosenblatt
“This collection contains some of Clark’s most poignant poems as well as some of his most satirical pieces. Given the largeness of his imagination and sense of humour, what more can one ask?” —Anne Szumigalski
