The Unreliable Narrator by C.M. Clark Paperback Book

Description: The Unreliable Narrator by C.M. Clark Narrators are never the exclusive property of prose fiction, according to this new chapbook collection, The Unreliable Narrator, by C.M. Clark. In these poems, the author explores how all speakers - even when embodied in written language - can sometimes be forthcoming, and sometimes simply unreliable. There are always unresolved questions concerning whose voice a poem manifests. From the dramatic monologue form, where a character "speaks" the poem, to a confessional set of lines - or in the case of the prose-poem a block of text - any poems persona is open to the readers interpretation. Is any poem ever the poet speaking? Or are all poetic voices more properly unreliable narrators, after all? FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Author Biography C.M.

Publication credits include Painted Bride Quarterly, West Trade Review, Wild Roof Journal, Bookends Review, Prime Number Magazine, Vallum Magazine (Montreal), Punt Volat (Barcelona), The Paddock Review, Pegasus, Ovenbird, and the South Florida Poetry Journal.

Review There is a solitary, seeing about the souls business, cast in these excursions taken in the poems of The Unreliable Narrator. At stake is the culpability of witness: has the will at eyeblink speed come to essential truth underlying experience; and heart, caged in its juddering mien received real messages of life? Herein is travelogue, a vagrant telling-spoken with every breath. There is the grand sideshow of "getting there"-set upon a beaten track-one coast to another amid "numbing hours...miles," crossing dead spots...between points, and a perilous descent through the warm peninsula air where all conviction belies separation from a world we must be helped into and out of despite our illusions of vision and power. You already own the ticket for this ride. Pray-settle-into the marrow of these pages as into a life.-Sean Sexton, author of Portals and May Darkness RestoreBecause this collection shape-shifts poem by poem, whether its narrators are real or avatars or imagined doesnt matter. What does, is the way its language can without warning turn cinematic: "The drawer with flatware juddered in closing, / hiding coupons, and lyrics to songs/ that frame the stanzas of every evenings lullaby, / these late days left unsung. But/ I hear it. Between waves./ Unseen/ like the air./ Unflinching/ like the sea."-Lola Haskins, author of Asylum, Improvisions on John Clare (Pittsburgh) and Homelight (Charlotte Lit) Details ISBN Author C.M.
