{"product_id":"sit-you-waiting-kim-clark-9781894759922","title":"Sit You Waiting","description":"Kim Clark believes that before multiple sclerosis began its insidious infiltration, there was no writing in her. That somehow the damaging changes that shut down certain functions in her brain also opened up other unused areas that housed a secret love affair with language and all its possibilities, its delicious sights and sounds and intimations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The poems in \u003ci\u003eSit You Waiting\u003c\/i\u003e are not about disease, but about everyday occurrences that have allowed Clark the luxury of contemplation through compulsory inertia and altered perceptions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e They vary in form and texture while maintaining a musicality, a sense of playfulness within the words that carries you from BC's beaches to Australia's Nullarbor Plain, from the neighbourhood pub to the cemetery, from pot roast country to the passport office--places where \u003ci\u003ebreakfast\/ doesn't matter\/ any more\/ than the notion\/ of romance.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Light and darkness can be found here. They are woven through the rhythm and rhyme of the erotic \u003ci\u003elips abandoned\u003c\/i\u003e, the humourous \u003ci\u003eself-propelled breasts\u003c\/i\u003e, the thought-provoking \u003ci\u003emurmuration of starlings\u003c\/i\u003e, and the distressing \u003ci\u003eedge of pale comatose\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Come in.
