Letter from a Far Country Reviews

'Clarke's poetry...gives voice to the unexpressed emotions and experiences of women over the centuries...this, together with the way in which her Welshness is such an integral part of her sensibility and her poetry helps to make Gillian Clarke one of our most important contemporary writers' - New Welsh Review 'Clarke's work is both personal and archetypal, built out of language as concrete as it is musical.' - Anne Stevenson, Times Literary Supplement 'Clarke...reminds us that simply expressed facts can sometimes shine more memorably than fireworks.' - Carol Rumens, The Independent
