Thomas A. Clark ist ein schottischer Dichter, dessen Poesie sich konsequent mit Form und dem Erlebnis des Wanderns in der Landschaft auseinandersetzt und immer wieder das einsame Gelände der Highlands und Inseln aufsucht. 1973 gründete er mit der Künstlerin Laurie Clark die Moschatel Press. Diese begann als Vehikel für kleine Veröffentlichungen anderer Autoren, entwickelte sich aber bald zu einem Mittel der formalen Untersuchung in seiner eigenen Lyrik, wobei er das Buch als imaginären Raum und die Seite als Rahmung oder Stille um ein Bild oder eine Phrase behandelte.
