Cold Spring: A Diary

by Tom Clark

Poetry. Illustrations. Tom Clark, author of the novel HEARTBREAK HOTEL, expands upon his poetic foundation with COLD SPRING, a collection of ink drawings and chronologically arranged poems whose bare phrases conjure vivid images even in their simplicity. It is a poetic diary of sorts which chronicles the events of a month, and Clark's impressions of quotidian life are drawn and written with a keen sense of detail, perfectly capturing winter's dark allure.
