Arc
David Clarke's first full collection follows on from an acclaimed and award-winning pamphlet Gaud (winner of the 2013 Michael Marks Pamphlet Prize). Follow the trail of these fleet-footed poems, and you'll be swept along from sonnets for Scott Walker to Orpheus as white van man, via 'epic fails' and sword-swallowing for beginners. It's a memorable trip you'll want to start afresh as soon as you finish reading. By turns subtle, bittersweet and wickedly sharp, this is a debut collection of poems to be savoured, which you will find yourself returning to revisit again and again.
