Review:
Huffington Post Review: Voracious Poetry for the Information Age
You may not yet have heard of Tim Krcmarik (US) or David Clarke (UK), but to me their debut collections represent some of the most interesting poetry being written today. Furthermore, their books serve as fine examples of how poetry grapples with the problems of the information age, and each illustrates how tactics can differ on their respective sides of the Atlantic.
