From the publisher:
Clark is a quiet poet but not a retiring one. She watches from the storm’s eye, uncovering what is threatening and contagious about our existence. —Boston Review
I keep visiting Jackie Clark’s Aphoria, and trying to determine how much of my admiration for it derives from the poems themselves and how much comes from what extraordinarily masterful evidence it marshals on behalf of confusion. —The Constant Critic
Clark’s attempts to connect the abstract decor of the psyche and the inorganic and organic furnishings of a personal life are bracing and alluring. —The Huffington Post
