I like his guts... He's the raw gnawing end of the moon." — Charles Bukowski "Tom Clark has been one of American poetry's most consistent and constant chroniclers of our long sleepwalk to parts unknown." — Joel Lewis "He is one of our original modern troubadours, and he deserves to be read." —Tony Hoagland "Tom Clark's poems seize the heart. They make it stop, for a second or two. They make you think twice about reading anything carelessly, ever again." —Anselm Hollo
