“From its beautifully poised title piece to its powerful concluding meditation on ‘Granting the Wolf,’ Kevin Clark's haunted and haunting In the Evening of No Warning is by turns celebratory, sardonic, and elegiac. Clark is a deeply thoughtful poet whose narrative gift is always enhanced by a searching and restless consciousness; his melodies are limber, his language scrupulous and urgent.”
—Sandra M. Gilbert
“Kevin Clark's new volume of poetry wears the anxious velvet mantle of Time gone magical with sleights of hand. What vanishes is us. Yet, the very passing itself, musical with its children's hour, becomes the unthinkable and sublime refuge that all the local nostalgias gather about. Many of these poems are altogether sweet and perfect. This is a wonderful book.”
—Norman Dubie
“Kevin Clark's poetry understands the limits of eros by experiencing those limits openly and thoroughly… And he understands passion for what it is, polymorphous, heartstrong and headdriven, not idea finally or ever, but protean force, to be ridden and ridden out and ridden again. Somehow this ecstatic poetry stops short of oblivion, accepts its margins, and seeks out the lovely surviving presences of marriage and family. I love this book for the flash and patience of its intelligence, but I learn what love is by the unique human occasion of it.”
—William Olsen
“In Kevin Clark's poetry there is an acute recognition of the precarious nature of our ordinary lives. He reminds us that we are always on the verge of falling; but in these poems, whether we fall into grace or misfortune, it's always into deeper knowledge, deeper appreciation for hard-won gifts.”
—Kim Addonizio
