Afterlife: New & Selected Poems by Polly Clark Ilya Kaminsky Stuart McPherson’s new collectionPolly Clark's poetry inhabits a world that is strange, unsettling, and edged with danger. Her debut, Kiss (2000), journeys inward, exploring the self with an unflinching gaze, before Take Me with You (2005) turns outward to question how we connect with others, with the wider world, with the unknown. In these collections, her characters, both human and animal, speak in many voices, illuminating the moments when we are most alive and most alone.
