Shortlisted for the Scottish Poetry Book of the Year 2021
Longlisted for the Laurel Prize 2021
A Telegraph Book of the Year 2020
This Selected Poems celebrates Scotland's most distinctive contemporary writer - a vivid minimalist, ruralist and experimentalist.
Thomas A Clark lives in a fishing village on the east coast of Scotland. Five books of his poetry have been published by Carcanet, including The Hundred Thousand Places (2009), Yellow & Blue (2014), Farm by the Shore (2017), The Threadbare Coat (2020) and that which appears (2024). Numerous small books, cards and editions from his own Moschatel Press investigate ways that the presentation of poetry can inform sense and nuance. During the summer months, with the artist Laurie Clark, he runs Cairn Gallery, a space for minimal and conceptual art.
Matthew Welton was born in 1969 in Nottingham, where he now lives and teaches at the University. He is the author of four previous books with Carcanet, and a number of pamphlets from smaller presses. His poems take a playful approach to poetic form, and much of his writing has been made in collaboration with composers, artists and other poets.
