<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: 294.75pt" class=MsoNormal>The poems in this latest collection from Scottish poet Thomas Clarke form part of an ongoing project of reparation: a series of small acts of attention, repeated attempts to step outside the circle of human concern and into a wider responsibility to the natural world. The spaces between poems evoke the quietness around worlds and things, while the poems themselves appear as momentary associations, or pauses on a walk. <I>Yellow & Blue</I> invites readers to share the spaciousness of a journey and to share in the exactness and clarity of Clarke’s perception.
