Skillfully using contemporary idiom, this poetic drama shows a natural abundance of creative genius and speaks of what is fashionable. It is a wonderful fusion of intellect with passion, of diffidence with stereotype. A poetry apart, Clyke resists an imposed order in arriving at the harmonious relationship of the parts with the whole. Her power is in her sureness and mastery of subject and expression. Concise and luminous, she has captured the nature and essence of love. Avant-garde, she f...

It took so long to bring this book to print. I don't quite know why. I think maybe a few people had to die first. What I know now is that for a long time I stopped myself from getting my poetry out into the big, blue world because I followed the internal rule that I learned in my family, which was "this doesn't go outside the family."
