Duncan McNaughton on Lyrics by Lewis MacAdams

The beautifully achieved line and tone, natural as can be―a 65 year-old teenager, best of both innocence and experience, perfectly fused into the third form of being, adamantly optimistic. Clean as a whistle with a ton of art behind it.
      There’s been so much bullshit for years re: “the lyric”―from all sides, friendlies and not.   All of it imbecilically ignorant, finally, of the real rules of the game.   LYRICS is a gift.   I regret that John Wieners is not around to read it.   Love poems that get it.   ―Duncan McNaughton
