Adrian Clarke: from Muzzle

imbricate cyphers

brick-boxed

Lexical hide her;

Adrian Clarke is one of the most important poets around. Most of his books have been published by Writers Forum, and he and I edited the anthology Floating Capital. See a poem of his, 'Possession: snapshots from the war on terror' on Great Works. And watch out for my Poetry of Saying which has a chapter on his work. 

Clarke's response to Chris Emery's account of the state of British poetry in 2008 may be read here, and Robert Sheppard's later piece on Clarke's poetics may be accessed here. And an essay, 'Collossal Fragments' from Far Language and first published in the print version of Pages is re-published here.AND my review of his 2019 book, Austerity Measures, along with more on Clarke, may be accessed here.
