Summary:
From lichens to malls to merchant republics, it's "another day in this here cosmos," in Maureen N. McLane’s third poetry collection, This Blue. Here are songs for and of a new century, poems both archaic and wholly now. In the middle of life, stationed in our common "Terran Life," the poet conjures urban pigeons, Adirondack mountains, Genoa, Andalucía, Belfast, Parma; here is a world sounded out, broken, possibly shareable, newly named: "Take it up Old Adam / everyday the world exists / to be named." This Blue is a searching and a singing -- intricate, sexy, smart. Maureen N. McLane grew up in upstate New York and was educated at Harvard, Oxford, and the University of Chicago. She is the author of two collections of poetry, Same Life (2008) and World Enough (2010). Her book My Poets (2012) is a hybrid of memoir and criticism.
