The second book by poet Clare L. Martin explores loss and rebirth and the nature of the spiritual. These poems are the quiet revelations of a poet who is questioning everything. ""Any new book of poems worth its salt must reinvent the intelligences of poetry: trope, word, image, argument, sentence, strophe, music. The poems in Clare Martin's Seek the Holy Dark will keep. They are salt."" -Darrell Bourque, Former Louisiana Poet Laureate, author of Megan's Guitar and Other Poems from Acadie and Where I Waited
