Synopsis

In this new verse narrative, poet C.M. Clark compiles the postings of provocative characters in motion along a hypothetical Silk Road of tweets, memes and other viral oddities. Their stories are strongly grounded geographically – some entangled in a quantum way. Imagine a holographic rendering of the bones, the muscles, the tissue and the DNA all gathered to shape a new archaeology. Whether taken as a whole or experienced individually, these poems chart the unsettling grey area between your favorite escape room and an MRI of the soul.

Some creatures really do wear their bones on the outside.

About this title

Review

Exoskeletal unearths a journey, a nonlinear tale where each poem acts upon the reader, delivering an experience at once timeless and transitory, corporeal and otherworldly. Like cloisonné, the language itself is intricate, beautifully wrought, the voice oracular, uncanny, provocative: animal, spirit, ash and bone.

—Holly Iglesias, author of Sleeping Things

 

A skeleton of storied lives, the poems in C.M. Clark’s Exoskeletal are myth, science and biography stitched together with a syntax of stunning music and “violet gum.”

—Lenny DellaRocca, Founder and Co-Publisher of South Florida Poetry Journal
