Editorial Reviews
“Justice Clarke’s poems are a pleasure to read. They are thoughtful and contemplative. His poems give an insight into the thoughts of a judge, insight that one wouldn’t be able to get anywhere . . . This judge is humorous, witty, tender, sympathetic and has an attractive humility . . . the true James Clarke is revealed. He sees everything.” —Edward L. Greenspan, in the introduction
