Owl Lit by Ian Clarke'Owl Lit' was the runner up in the Brian Dempsey Memorial Competition in 2017. Ian Clarke's poems are lyrical, economical, with not a word out of place or unneeded. His subject is the Fens and their people, where he grew up, and the wild landscape of the east coast of Britain. A poet with a remarkable ability to convey in a few telling words and images a place or a person, honestly and without needing to elaborate.
