Stormlight

"McKague's collection begins in one winter and ends in another, and the poet is particularly adept at conveying the power of the cold in upstate New York and connecting it with various personal losses. Although he is often a poet of frustration and unfulfillment, his unabashed vision comes through in moments of clarity: for example, in 'Shaving,' 'Teahouse in the Rain,' 'SFO Departure, 5:55 A.M.,''In the Absence of Blue Flower,' and 'The Gift,' he succeeds admirably." - Choice
