Who The Bleep Is Tom Clark, Part II
I could get a bleep reading most blogs but Tom Clark is ever surprising, and almost apologetic about blogging. He creates another surprising post, just when you thought he was finis or when he sounds like he'd just as soon find a nice, warm A.T.M. space to crawl into and hide from the elements, there he is--with a new book! It has photographs by Carl Mydans and text by Tom Clark.
Tom Clark, In the Shadow of the Capitol (Pataphysics Books, Melbourne, 2012). It is hardcover and easy to order using Paypal. I can't wait to look at it and read Clark's words without the glitzy illumination of the screen.
Also out is the Collected Poems by Edward Dorn, edited by Jennifer Dunbar Dorn (Carcanet Press, Manchester, 2012). It includes a forward by Jennifer Dunbar Dorn.
I already informed my U.K. contacts about the star-studded evening launching this book at the upscale Times Bookshop in London next week. Other jet setters I may have forgotten: make a beeline to this in order to get your copy signed. Check out Carcanet's website for information and R.S.V.P.
Just come back from London. I enjoyed Tom Raworth's recollections (in which TC played no small part) particularly. A very good evening.
ReplyDeleteAnd the truth is stranger than the fiction -- in fact he would just as soon find a nice, warm A.T.M. space to crawl into and hide from the elements.
ReplyDeleteBut, on the other hand, a nice, warm ATM space -- that idea is even stranger than the truth.
Ed signed a lot of books there; and there was a rare showing of the 8mm movie of "Emperor of the Animals" shot by Stan Brakhage.
