John Wedgwood Clarke's first full-length collection opens up with
the image of the titular Ghost Pot: a lobster trap that, torn free
from fishermen who launched it, drifts along the sea-bed,
continuing its business of catching lobsters until it is
re-discoverd, 'crammed to the throat with bony shields'. Returning
to the coastline so vividly captured in his pamphlet 'Sew Swim',
these new poems thrillingly evoke the seafront vistas of North
Yorkshire. The poems flit between bays, brigfs, cliffs and frets,
deftly portraying sea creatures, landmarks above and below the
surface, and half-glimpsed residents with 'voices the moon
defines', their 'yellow winter pub-talk clacking down wet steps'.
