Smoke and Mirrors by Antonia Clark

$14.00

 

The poems in SMOKE AND MIRRORS are populated by fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters who are captivated, fragmented, and haunted by the dead, “What children understand about the dead/ is how they cling to life, how they assert/ their sentiments and preferences, instead/ of giving up the ghost.” In reading Antonia Clark’s poem “Sisterhood,” the narrator enchants the readers as “we turned forbidden words on our tongues/ like sour lemon drops.” Clark’s verse pulls us in with its beauty, and then gives us a smack of reality.
