But these remarkable poems also write towards the intangible in the late summer’s dusk – an empty cage, a bird flown; history’s slow grind and echo. Clarke’s elegies reach out to touch what passes us fleetingly in a moment of time – ‘before the tongue can catch them’ – held for that second, precious, in his poised and finely weighted poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57306298712446,"sku":"NW9781913437763","price":10.57,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781913437763.jpg?v=1778521726","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/field-in-winter","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
