Book Description

13 Feb 2001 Pocketbooks
"Distance and Proximity" is the tenth volume in the Pocketbook series. It represents a collaboration between two celebrated Scottish artists, Thomas A. Clark and Olwen Shone. The Scottish poet Thomas A. Clark is one of the foremost contemporary exponents of the detached sentence. This collection brings together nine sequences, some of which have been previously published as small press private editions by his Moschatel Press, some appearing in print for the first time. The photographer Olwen Shone who is based in the Hebrides, has created a series of photographs to accompany the nine poems.

5.0 out of 5 stars beautifully composed 12 Oct 2008
Format:Paperback
This is a wonderful little book, ideally suited for reading beside a fire or to be picked up in idle moments. Although the book is divided into sections, it need not be read from front to cover.

Thomas Clark uses words with such skill and beauty to convey the scenes we are all familiar with, and must resonate with everyone from walking along a country path to watching the sea.

The photographs interspersed with the text are beautifully composed and complement the writing very well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Walking is a journey! 12 Aug 2007
By Karen Aaserud - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I fell in love with Distance & Proximity the moment I opened the book. Thomas A. Clark's prose poems left me with a sense of awe and wonder. I didn't want to put it down! Now, as I slip into a good pair of walking shoes and venture outdoors, I'll remember to to stay focused and enjoy nature at its fullest. Thank you, Thomas A. Clark!
