Product Overview
Mark McKain's poems are characterized by a shimmering exactitudeand yet they are also willing to admit a certain oddness of perception, a descriptive quirkiness, and an openness to serendipity that at their best recalls the work of figures such as Marianne Moore and Lorine Niedecker. These are bracing and always engaging poems, in which the act of looking gives way to wonderment.

Imagery, tactile and hyper-alive, soars with Mark McKains Blue Sun. The attentive writers eye and well-tuned poets ear yield mussels, alligator gar, egrets, orchards, glimmerglass, and the odd Huguenot shipmate. Here is a smorgasbord of sensual peculiarities. These are insights and reflections to savor.
