033 Adrian Clarke – ‘Drastic Measures’
Veer Publication 032 [ISBN: 978-1-907088-22-3]
“With such a lot of things going on between the words this is a poetry to think and hear with, its feelers tunnelling into the language we’ll never know the outside of. The differences inside repetition, the condensings and distensions, ring clear as a bell, refusing undulant tone recognition (narcotic agent), making a continuous disturbance of the ear and giving radiant edges to words so the demotic can tell what is going on. Dance of the intellect, with delight and irony.”
(Will Rowe)
5x8” size. 176 pages. November 2010. £8.00
