About this book
The poems in this latest collection from Scottish poet Thomas Clarke form part of an ongoing project of reparation: a series of small acts of attention, repeated attempts to step outside the circle of human concern and into a wider responsibility to the natural world. The spaces between poems evoke the quietness around worlds and things, while the poems themselves appear as momentary associations, or pauses on a walk. Yellow & Blue invites readers to share the spaciousness of a journey and to share in the exactness and clarity of Clarke's perception.

speed of the running wave
composure of the standing wave
wit of the rippling wave
delight of the breaking wave
in a wilderness
or bewilderment
of sandwort
and bladder-wrac...
