    The Field in Winter, the third collection of poetry by David Clarke, winner of the Michael Marks Award, elegantly reflects on memory, time, and the very particular landscape of loss, in a calendar of poems, a 'charm of words' that track and loop through seasons of nature and living.
    The relationship between the environment, the human body and the self takes centre stage here in poetry that is concerned with being in the world - senses alive to the detail of things, the trunk of a linden tree , the shock of cold water, the frenzy of bees and blossom. 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.

    I Remember is a book of poetry inspired while traveling, spending time in nature and from my life's experiences. As a multiracial man in America, I feel I was given the opportunity to experience discrimination and prejudice from people of all walks of life. To learn I needed to love to accept myself first so I can witness firsthand society's most crucial issues of division and polarity. From the systemic illusion of separation from nature and humankind as a whole, due to the fact that most of us have yet to remember who we really are. Although the media is persistently promoting fear and division. The intention of this book is to share a sense of awareness of who we are beyond the body while inspiring the reader to love and have compassion for themselves and others at a greater capacity. Regardless of what one may have learned from their parents, culture, media, movies etc. I Remember is resurfacing to remind the masses we are all equal expressions of the Divine and now have a role to play in co-creating “The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible.”
