Description

“Boy Thing is a thing of wonder. These are poems that negotiate anew the tender, hurt territory of a boy abruptly unfathered with every fresh reading; and that travel into the wonderment of becoming a father of boys.

We are given a boy’s-eye-view of 1970s Cornwall with a music and detail so meticulous that we yearn with Clarke for its lost territories.

But these are not just poems of archive or archaeology; they are revelatory, dynamic and raw.

Clarke is crucially attuned to the secret messages received in boyhood – its preoccupations and awakenings, epiphanies and abuses, and its shames.

This book is unmissable: human and humane, grimy and sublime.” - Fiona Benson“Boy Thing is a beautiful book – sensual, atmospheric, full of nature and ritual.

These poems while formally precise, possess a rawness that is startling and utterly compelling.” - Ella Frears
