Something in the Air

Beschreibung

A poet of original vision and gentle, careful word-shaping, Clark allows his images to merge and converge toward a resolution in which flow is not arrested but pauses to take thought; the images take over the controls and "do the talking," almost as if they had a mind of their own. What a relief when that happens, the poet confesses; he just follows along and tries to stay out of the way of whatever it is they seem to want to be saying.

Autor

Born in the UK, Tom has been a consultant in environment, sustainability and climate change since 1990 and been involved in environmental protection and campaigning since 1978. At last count, he has worked in twenty-eight countries for governments and many industries. He has a degree in civil engineering, an MBA, an MSc in environmental technology from Imperial College, London, and professional qualifications in environmental and greenhouse gas management. Since 1999, he has lived in Western Australia and helped raise a family, the best thing he has done, and has travelled and worked throughout Australia, appreciating its beauty and diversity. He has been involved in many campaigns there, including ending the logging of the ancient forests of the south-west and whaling in the Antarctic, as well as working towards climate action. In this, he has observed Australian climate politics with a mix of amusement and horror. You couldn't make it up.
