Some Say e-bog

A dazzling collection of poems exploring the mental landscape of our momentMaureen N. McLane's Some Say revolves around a dazzling "e;old sun."e; Here are poems on sex and death; here are poems testing the "e;bankrupt idea / of nature."e; Some Say offers an erotics of attention; a mind roaming, registering, and intermittently blocked; a mortal poet going "e;nowhere fast but where / we're all going."e; From smartphones to dead gods to the beloved's body, Some Say charts "e;the weather of an old day / suckerpunched"e; into the now. Following on her bravura Mz N: the serial: A Poem-in-Episodes, McLane bends lyric to the torque of our moment-and of any moment under the given sun. Some Say encompasses full-barreled odes and austere lines, whiplashing discourse and minimal notations. In her fifth book of poems, McLane continues her "e;songs of a season"e; even as she responds to new vibrations-political, geological, transpersonal, trans-specific. Moving through forests and cities, up mountains, across oceans, toward a common interior, she sounds out the ecological mesh of the animate and inanimate. These are poems that make tracks in our "e;unmarked dark"e; as the poet explores "e;a cosmos full / of people and black holes."e; From its troubled, exhilarated dawns to its scanned night sky, Some Say is both a furthering and a summation by a poet scouring and singing the world "e;full // as it always was / of wings / of meaning and nothing."e;
