Here we find that the past is \"a perfect copy of the land.\/ But with all the panic of the meat.\" By situating himself among lyric poets such as Jack Spicer, John Ashbery, and Amiri Baraka, Anthony McCann reveals how poetry can be both an unnerving and enlivening sort of devotion. \"I want life\/but for the living\" he writes. By turns playful, mournful, and darkly humorous, these are works which ultimately leave us emboldened in their wake. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnthony McCann\u003c\/b\u003e was born and raised in the Hudson Valley.
