Publisher: Cinnamon Press
A very varied and colourful collection of poems exists, encompassing both personal and fictional love. The book showcases a strong awareness of the real world and nature in all its varieties, as evidenced by the fine and unexpected poem "The Roses of Heliogabalus." However, what sets this book apart is the sense of a strong imagination at work that transforms the Real into Poetry. It is not another volume of careful observations that have been workshopped out of existence, but something altogether more wild and meaningful.
One of the things I enjoy most about Clive's poetry is its capacity to surprise, lull the reader into the promise of the familiar, and then completely change their understanding, expectations, and view of life itself. These are poems of nuance and feeling, tactile descriptions, and human emotion, imagination, and inventiveness.
Another reviewer, Robert Garnham, shares a similar sentiment, stating that Clive's poetry is characterized by its ability to surprise and transform the reader's perspective. Garnham highlights the book's ability to capture the real world and nature in all its varieties, while also showcasing a strong imagination at work. He describes the poems as being of nuance and feeling, with tactile descriptions and human emotion, imagination, and inventiveness.
Overall, Clive's poetry is praised for its ability to surprise, engage, and transform the reader's understanding of the world. It is a collection that showcases a strong awareness of the real world and nature, as well as a strong imagination at work. The poems are characterized by their nuance and feeling, tactile descriptions, and human emotion, imagination, and inventiveness.
