Narrators are never the exclusive property of prose fiction, according to this new chapbook collection, The Unreliable Narrator, by C.M. Clark. In these poems, the author explores how all speakers - even when embodied in written language - can sometimes be forthcoming, and sometimes simply unreliable. There are always unresolved questions concerning whose voice a poem manifests. From the dramatic monologue form, where a character speaks the poem, to a confessional set of lines - or in the case of the prose-poem a block of text - any poem's persona is open to the reader's interpretation. Is any poem ever the poet speaking? Or are all poetic voices more properly unreliable narrators, after all?
