Blurbs on the
back of the 2nd printing of Gord:
"His name was Gord, and he used to run with the bulls reads well on the page and
I expect it reads well from the podium as well. There is a deceptive ease about it,
and a generosity and wide range of reference. I also like the other poems in the
collection; the book has a pleasing variety. It constitutes the first exposure I
have had to some of your many voices. Long may I hear them!"

"David Clink's poetry caught me off guard -- it is inventive and fresh,
yet immensely readable. I feel lucky if I find a handful of poems
that strike me in most large collections -- to find such a number in so
small an art volume is even more pleasing. Gord reads like a
first major collection, and perhaps should be regarded as such."

"Reading David Clink is like sitting down beside him for the first time.
It's funny, man"
