Equal parts elegy and ode, Newly Not Eternal explores the startling suffering and sentiment implicit in human mortality. At the heart of this collection, a son has died on the cusp of his first breath, but the book's stakes are larger and more universal than a single, silent, foreshortened life. Ranging from personal lyrics to monologues in persona, from triolets to a modified crown of sonnets, from surreal fantasy to natural landscape, George David Clark's poems sing of the brutality of time and the beauty that transcends it.
George David Clark was born in Savannah, Georgia, and now lives in McMurray, Pennsylvania, with his wife and their four children. The editor of 32 Poems, he is associate professor of English at Washington & Jefferson College. His previous collection, Reveille, won the Miller Williams Poetry Prize.
