McLane’s \u003ci\u003eSome \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eSay\u003c\/i\u003e revolves around a dazzling “old sun.” Here are poems on sex and death; here are poems testing the “bankrupt idea \/ of nature.” \u003ci\u003eSome Say\u003c\/i\u003e offers an erotics of attention; a mind roaming, registering, and intermittently blocked; a mortal poet going “nowhere fast but where \/ we’re all going.” From smartphones to dead gods to the beloved’s body, \u003ci\u003eSome Say\u003c\/i\u003e charts “the weather of an old day \/ suckerpunched” into the now. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing on her bravura \u003ci\u003eMz N: the serial: A Poem-in-Episodes\u003c\/i\u003e, McLane bends lyric to the torque of our moment—and of any moment under the given sun. \u003ci\u003eSome Say\u003c\/i\u003e encompasses full-barreled odes and austere lines, whiplashing discourse and minimal notations. In her fifth book of poems, McLane continues her “songs of a season” 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 “unmarked dark” as the poet explores “a cosmos full \/ of people and black holes.” From its troubled, exhilarated dawns to its scanned night sky, \u003ci\u003eSome Say \u003c\/i\u003eis both a furthering and a summation by a poet scouring and singing the world “full \/\/ as it always was \/ of wings \/ of meaning and nothing.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUATB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48667444969727,"sku":"*R0124880*","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0487\/5550\/7364\/files\/6347263482321.jpg?v=1781291841","url":"https:\/\/shop.onceuponatimebooks.com\/products\/some-say-poems","provider":"Once Upon a Time Books AR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
