Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Hilary Clark teaches English and Gender Studies at the University of Saskatoon. She has been teaching there since 1990. She specializes in women's writing, modernism and critical theory,and enjoys teaching creative writing (poetry) and especially editing when she gets the chance.
Hilary Clark's newest volume of poems shelters a world of stories and poems, of the tricks of language that are the dearest home of a writer. "The hinge," she writes later in "Dwelling", "is attention to the moment, its particular light." And Clark attends with mind acutely tuned, with heart open and eager; she writes with the subtle nuances, the gentle shifts of one who has dwelt long in words and found in them an endless unfolding of possibilities: "each word could be others, thresholds to possible tales" ("Other Worlds").
