I KNOW NOTHING BUT THE NIGHT (digital)

“‘I Know Nothing But the Night’ is the soundtrack of a life well-lived. Flowers takes us down lyrical highways, stopping to marvel and flip the cassette. Every poem explodes with layers of wonder, longing, heartbreak and humor in precisely the way that only a rich life, and rich poetry, can do—and like life itself, the fact that this collection is fleeting makes it all the more sweet.”

— Olivia Braley, poet

“Clem Flowers is first and foremost a universe-builder, and ‘I Know Nothing But the Night’ is no exception. ‘The world … slowly [shakes] off civil twilight’ as the speaker oscillates between dreamlike trance and vivid recollection. And of course, present through it all is a coppercrusted landscape dancing below the night sky, beset by personal photographs that add another dimension to the poetry Flowers bestows upon us. I dig it.”

— nat raum, author of “you stupid slut” and “random access memory”
