The Five Snouts by C.M. Clark

Clark’s poems are like sands that sift through your fingers in elegant arabesques, only to build worlds at your feet – a world of women, women of many worlds. Her new collection is a tunnel into the lives of people you want to live with for a while; explore glass with. An education in language, which echoes long after reading.

–Vanessa Garcia, author of the novel White Light

C.M. Clark’s sensual poetry brilliantly maneuvers between the panoramic and the intimate, the historical and the quotidian. To read her work is to enter a fanciful yet harrowing journey where East meetsWest and the human condition resounds with vibrancy, universality, and compassion.

–Carolina Hospital, author of The Child of Exile: A Poetic Memoir
