Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The poems of China Basin, Clemens Starck's long-awaited third collection, are born in the blue-collar world of hard work. Whether they focus on a scene in contemporary Russia, which the poet has visited several times in recent years, or chart the steps in building a barn, an office building, or a poem, they are immediate and profound.

Synopsis:

Yokohama

Wondering why not a single plum tree grew

in the holy compound of the Ise Shrine,

Basho was told

there was no special reason...

Hot night on Isezaki Street.

Big yellow moon.

Storefront TV. After six full innings Tokyo

leads Hiroshima, 5 to 3.

What is this? Japanese bartenders look

like American bartenders.

Sonuvabitch! Drunk in Yokohama

and Basho isn't here.

Clemens Starck works as a carpenter and construction foreman.
