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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.\"\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaureen N.
