'A spanish stonemason asks: when is a stone
properly placed? And he answers his own question:
when my impatience to once more readjust it
has vanished. Jeremy Clarke writes
like a Spanish stonemason. His poems are houses,
bridges, towers...'
~ John Berger
'Being a thoughtful person is a very special thing
it seems to me. To think, to feel and then to tell
of what we felt and thought, in poetic form, is
truly the work of the poet. But to speak about silence,
to speak of the fullness of emptiness and the beauties,
the subtleties of stillness in the presence of power, this is rare.
Jeremy Clarke does this, with humility and grace,
a timeless watching and working into being human
on Earth, a telling of that, a revealing for the rest
of us who don't have the words. He's blessed, really.
~ Emily Young
