Tom Clark Cold Spring: A Diary 72 pages $10 Cover letter-pressed by Roger Snell

In an era of dot coms and accelerating bandwidths, these poems guide attention to the urban animals who survive oil-slick streets to inhabit the poet's imagination. 21st day A spring night. Lighting the candle. I went out and swept the garden. The cats kept on sleeping. A mad woman was out there in the street, screaming things in the spring night.
