Synopsis
John Wedgwood Clarke's first full-length collection begins with the mesmerizing and disturbing image of the 'Ghost Pot' - a lobster creel that, torn free from its mooring, drifts along the sea-bed, continuing to catch lobsters until it is rediscovered, 'crammed to the throat with bony shields'. Returning to the coastline vividly described in his debut pamphlet Sea Swim, these new poems add depth and variation to a body of work fast-becoming the definitive literary take on the seafront vistas of North Yorkshire. Bays, cliffs, frets and a 'Brigg' are populated by deftly-portrayed sea creatures, half-glimpsed residents with 'voices the moon defines', their 'yellow winter pub-talk clacking down wet steps', and landmarks, including the rusting industrial relics of the iron-ore industry on which Clarke observes the 'irreversible flowerings of a bolt'. 'Ghost Pot' is a powerful, cohesive sequence which marks the arrival of a significant and original new voice in UK poetry.
