...four years was the icing on the cake. And yet, contrary to what many think, Clarke’s success did not come easily. After having four knee surgeries and then injuring her shoulder at the end of her sophomore year, Clarke has worked hard with both the Harvard training center and her doctors in Phoenix to get to this day. “I’ve been injured for the past two seasons so it was nice to finally [win Ivies],” Clark said. “Now I am able to compete and train...

The noise of traffic drifting from city-sanctioned highways provides an urban soundtrack, and elevated train cars reveal burned buildings through their grease-stained windows, but these images are subordinated to mere setting. “Miles from Nowhere” is a book of abrupt stops and starts that, like the slumlords of the Bronx’ past, chooses to exacerbate raw wounds while self...
