McLane\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e stuns with a precise, perceptive book of poetic meditations. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn her first book of poems since the scintillating \u003ci\u003eMore Anon: Selected Poems\u003c\/i\u003e, Maureen N. McLane offers a bravura, trenchant sounding out of inner and outer weathers. \u003ci\u003eWhat You Want\u003c\/i\u003e is a book of core landscapes, mindscapes, and shifting moods. Meditative, lyrical, alert to seasons and pressures on our shared life, McLane registers and shapes an ambient unease. Whether skying with John Constable or walking on wintry paths in our precarious republic, the poet channels what Wordsworth called \"moods of my own mind\" while she scans for our common horizon. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere are poems filled with gulls and harbors, blinking red lights and empty lobster traps, beach roses and rumored sharks, eels and crows, wind turbines and superhighways. From Sappho to the Luminist painter Fitz Henry Lane, from constellations to microplastics, \u003ci\u003eWhat You Want\u003c\/i\u003e is a book alive to the cosmos as well as to our moment, with its many vexations and intermittent illuminations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn poems of powerful command and delicate invitation, moving from swift notations to sustained sequences, this collection sees McLane testing what (if anything) might \"outlast the coming heat.\" And meanwhile, \"There's no end \/ to beauty and shit.\"\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaureen N.
