Description

"One of the reasons why language is so sick right now and cliché-ridden and lame and boring and laid-out, and about to go to sleep, is because there aren't a thousand Tom Clarks. If I were writing a prescription right now, you know, if I had my shiny thing here, a stethoscope around my neck, that's the prescription I'd write. Take one thousand Tom Clarks before going to bed."

-- Edward Dorn, in Ed Dorn Live: Lectures, Interviews, and Outtakes, 2007

"You have kept your own mind and done your perceptive and singular work every day -- on your own resources and with your own intent. For those who can care, you are a benchmark for what such industry and capability can realize. Your practical hand has been there for me, I know all the way... "

-- Robert Creeley to Tom Clark, July 26, 2002
