Lucy Harvest Clarke, author of the if p then q collection Silveronda, is back with a delicious new work for if p then q – Be3a. Comes in a limited edition of 15 copies, a set of 6 postcards all designed and conceived by Clarke. Front (manipulated photos). Back (poetry).

Some framing…In 1999 a book about war crimes was delivered to a politician from a social action group. The book was found discarded outside the house.

‘Beza’ – link

Broken bridges unpeopled, a dream – Be3a

Clarke’s work is never concrete, specific readings unlikely. This is a visceral poetry that  doesn’t necessarily lead to explanation.
