Shortlisted for the 2003 Anne Szumigalski Award for Poetry and for the 2003 City of Saskatoon Book Award (Saskatchewan Book Awards) Hilary Clark's newest volume of poems shelters a world of stories and poems, of the tricks of language that are the dearest home of a writer. "The hinge," she writes later in "Dwelling", "is attention to the moment, its particular light." And Clark attends with mind acutely tuned, with heart open and eager; she writes with the subtle nuances, the gentle shifts of one who has dwelt long in words and found in them an endless unfolding of possibilities: "each word could be others, thresholds to possible tales" ("Other Worlds"). These poems trace, through their web of reference, a life story of reading -- the Bible, Shakespeare, Blake, Lewis Carroll, and Emily Bronte meet Michael Palmer, Fred Wah, and Robert Duncan -- not just Clark's life story but any reader’s who finds in words a way to lure the spirit homeward.
