031   Wayne Clements – ‘Clerical Work’

Veer Publication 031 [ISBN: 978-1-907088-19-3]
“Wayne Clements reads his poems at an equidistance from his voice, for the listener (and the reader) voice and poem become one, as it should be, the vocal and the visual, the voice and the page stress the predominance of variation and repetition as one integrated rhythmical device […] This is high-intensity poetry, at once lyrical and progressive, focussing on breathtaking linguistic detail as well as the broad philosophical brush strokes, subtly playing with all the possibilities of creating meaning including a graphic and sonic treatment of echoes and silences; there is a strong forward movement to these poems which makes for irresistible reading.”
(Johan de Wit)
5x8” size. 64 pages. August 2010. £6.00
