About the Author

Thomas A Clark lives in a fishing village on the east coast of Scotland. With the artist Laurie Clark he runs Cairn Gallery, a space for minimal and conceptual art. In exploration of some formal possibilities of poetry, his work often appears as installations or interventions in galleries or in domestic or public spaces. Publications include Tormentil & Bleached Bones (Polygon, 1993), Distance & Proximity (Pocketbooks, 2000), The Path to the Sea (Arc, 2005), The Hundred Thousand Places'(Carcanet, 2008), and Yellow & Blue (Carcanet, 2014). Numerous small cards, books and prints from his own Moschatel Press explore presentation as an aspect of form.
