Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Whether she's contemplating the private life of Greta Garbo, fantasizing about unbuttoning her lover's clothes while dining in public, reporting the spontaneous uses of cucumbers, or recalling the civil rights movement, Clarke's work is unfailingly witty, perceptive, sexy, and sensual, taking us on her freedom train of thought and into her inner musings as she skewers social, racial, gender, and sexual-orientation inequities. This is poetry by an in-your-face lesbian of color, a self-described bulldagger who asks a woman, "Why take so long to ask for it? / Come on, girl, are you gonna go after it? / Two days. / I'm only here for four. / Must you be courted so?" and who mulls the difficulties of dating "dykes": "A dyke wants commitment, / romance without abatement, / and unrelenting virtue-- / all before the first show of flesh." This is a poet with uncompromising visions and the uncompromising words to express them. Whitney Scott

4.0 out of 5 stars
Political, emotional, romantic,
This review is from: Experimental Love: Poetry (Paperback)
This is a great coffee table book and a great conversation piece. The poetry of this book evoked political debate, nostalgic reminiscing, quiet reflection and urgent lovemaking all in one package. I look forward to more works by Ms. Clarke.
