The Journey To Love

A Long Weekend Away: Thursday to Tuesday

In the early days of a relationship, the excitement and thrills and exploration can be exhilarating. Here S P Clark recounts the first long weekend spent with his lover, his blue-eyed Birmingham boy that took place in their twenties. Through romance, sex, dreams of a future and those rose-tinted perceptions of early love we get to glimpse the private world of the relationship between these two young men.  

 Clark Meets Munch

A Short Poetry Collection Based on the Artwork of Edvard Munch

This short collection takes the titles of sixteen masterworks by Edvard Munch and uses them as the launching pad to create new poems that explore a broad spectrum of emotions, moods and themes. Puberty, melancholy, mortality, health and sex are explored in Clark Meets Munch. Aside from drawing the reader in to poetry, S P Clark hopes to encourage the reader to experience the beautiful art of one of the most inspiring artists of all time.  

Entertaining Goodbye: A Poetic Examination of Death

Death. The subject that people avoid, are fearful of and struggle to embrace is tackled head on in this collection from S P Clark. Entertaining Goodbye explores many sides of this experience from our own mortality to the loss of a family member, from illness to suicide and from grief to hope. The beautiful poems in this collection are a great way to start a conversation around the inevitable, death. 

Haiku

Throughout the years S P Clark has written haiku's and now brings you a collection of them. These beautiful pieces take us through a range of subjects: our planet, its creatures and the people upon it, our lives (through love, sex, drugs, depression and pain) and at the same time gives us a glimpse into his own world. Haiku is a beautiful collection for lovers of poetry everywhere.

 Sixty

Sixty is a collection of sixty short stories following a specific format; each tale uses only sixty words. This collection tackles the many themes of love, fear, murder, deception amongst others. At times chilling, moving, funny and thought-provoking; Sixty is an exploration of daily life from the absurd to the mundane, from the horrific to the life-enhancing. This is one to read. 

ALREADY AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE IS:

One Year With Mister R: A Poetry Collection of One Man's Journey with Sexual Assault

I was raped.

These words are said aloud 10 months after. Here are the words that S P Clark wrote as he lived with this experience for one year. This is one man's journey of coming to terms with being raped, coming to terms with having this new person, the unknown Mister R, as a lodger in his life. Through the darkest times of fear, self-blame and pain to the possibility of having good times again, a future - this collection shines a light on a subject that is so often left unspoken.

S P Clark's One Year With Mister R: A Poetry Collection of One Man's Journey with Sexual Assault is chronologically compiled, demonstrating the ups and downs, changes in mood as experienced by the poet himself. This book is not meant as a self-help guide, or as a template for others on how they will feel - this is simply the journey of one man and how he experienced this. The hope is that perhaps this book will serve as a comfort to anyone finding their way through this experience, to know that they are not alone, to know that there are better days ahead.
