A book length series of poems, looking at life in all its imperfections through the viewpoint of an inextinguishable character whose spirit triumphs through humor.
Clayfeld, a comic everyman, is the center of these poems about the nature of beauty, sorrow, and art, as well as the potential for happiness. Thwarted continually by ordinary defeats, Clayfeld endures and laughs, loves and remembers.
Critic Harold Bloom called poet Robert Pack an heir to Robert Frost and Edwin Arlington Robinson. That heritage is fully apparent in this joyous and exuberant odyssey.
