This is poet Todd McCarty’s first published collection, & it is a
blast. The poems are very tight, tough, and
somehow transcendent. Deftly negotiating
unexpected hairpin turns as they skid from humor to tenderness to simple
awestruck wonder, these lyrics confidently claim that rare place between
language & thought, as poetry should. Dig the music & the measure, as the
strange, the familiar, & the inevitable collide, bouncing off each other in
ways you never thought possible.
