Newly not Eternal

George David Clark's new book of poems is as much a musical event as it is a literary one. This poet truly listens to every last word he sets to paper—good luck resisting the urge to give voice to these poems as you read them! A treasure of a book." - Amit Majmudar"Clark's poems are precise and memorable—songs in which deep feeling provokes startlingly fresh language. They are passionate poems, and the music that they make is true to the experience, reliably so, and amply." - David Yezzi"Clark's beautiful and moving second collection of poems, Newly Not Eternal, is a wonderful showcase for his formidable formal talents. The subtle display of formal variations here enhances his deeply contemplative project—that of interrogating faith with a poet's ear and eye and a generous, open heart." - Sidney Wade
