They present us with, or return us to, a complicated, violent, poignant, weird, and mysterious world--a world which is very particularly his, and also our own, re-sung. For some time now I have believed McCann to be one of the finest poets writing today, and as \u003ci\u003eI Heart Your Fate\u003c\/i\u003e makes clear, he is only getting better.--Maggie Nelson, author of \u003ci\u003eBluets\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Cruelty\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn his third collection of poetry, Anthony McCann fuses the worlds of dream, art, love, and brute humanity, taking the redemptive power of the romantic to new and surprising extremes. I don't have a body to feel afraid, writes McCann, and these poems, bald and imaginative, almost convince the reader it must be so, save for the fact that they are so vitally, essentially human.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom Of the Mockingbird: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSo that once again, beloved readers, \u003cbr\u003eI find that I have died.
