All it would take by Marc Swan Matthew Clegg she’s wearing a red dressAll it would take is Marc Swans immensely readable fifth collection, spanning a life in words, influenced by the sense of freedom espoused by Kerouac, Corso, Ginsberg, Ferlinghetti and in the quiet, essential essence of Carver.

These poems do what it takes to illuminate a richly lived and well examined life.
