He was an eccentric character, familiarly known as "the mad poet"; and was the subject of an amusing poem by Halleck, called "The Discarded". The subjects of Clarke's verses were usually the belles of the city and topics of the day. His works include: "Poetic Sketches" (1826) and "The Belles of Broadway" (1833).
