"Geraldine Clarkson's work brings to mind T.S. Eliot's remark that "a thought to Donne was an experience, it modified his sensibility". Clarkson is one of few poets whose work insists on, and succeeds in, finding new and more ambitious ways to integrate sensation, emotion, thought and an imaginative expansiveness that is entirely her own. Her rare gift is to produce a poetry that sings, even as it swinges." --Ahren Warner (editor, Poetry London)
