Under the Dragon’s Tail: // fluidly shifting the readers perspective with images of an obsolete future // words pacing steady from contents to polestar // describing realities with resonating phrases – a spine has a life of its own // clara’s well sculpted poems present her world in stark relief // this first collection will not be her last.
