Description

Rich in river imagery and an intense sense of the passage of time, The Wash explores the incessant music that permeates journeys with a destination unknown. The poems depict a landscape of loss in which language and images provide the only concrete platform on which to stand. Playing a lyrical voice against the limits of silence, Adam Clay’s The Wash uncovers the voices that can be made, and heard, in and out of nature.

Extrait

tion deîcit but from its surplus, pierced by memory, Nature, Oblivion and the Giant Forms in which “the shadows of îsh / live as the îsh do.” A Romantic without heroism, a naturalist who knows himself excluded from Nature’s mirror, he goes split from him

with a Clare-ity that includes pleasure, dismay and eroticism, how “a rock / turn[s] black with the memory of my face,” but just “[a]sk and I will be your cuckoo for two hundred years.” Clay’s is an un-Enclosed speaker moving optimistically toward catas trophe:“The window was so clean / I walked into it, hoping for a headfull of sky.”

On every page of excitement, and inward experience from which a language springs that can ow for

own faces back. . . . This book is an eyeful and an earful. It teems with originality.
