David Clarke's debut collection, Arc, invites you to follow the trail of fleet-footed poems and be swept along from sonnets for Scott Walker to epic fails and sword-swallowing for beginners. It's a memorable trip you'll want to start afresh as soon as you finish reading. Subtle, bittersweet and wickedly sharp, these poems from the winner of the 2013 Michael Marks Poetry Award deserve to be relished and revelled in.
