His candid poems are Polaroid captures of the vicissitudes of love and family life (warts and all), as well as mile markers of the times (Vietnam, AIDS, Gay Rights, the Pandemic). At turns cathartic, emotional, or both, the vibe for me is a little bit John Sebastian and a little bit Jimi Hendrix. You know-learn from your mistakes, forgive and forget, love and let go, and find some peace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichard Peabody\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, editor, \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eGargoyle Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has never been suggested that life is an easy path and Jack Mackey's debut collection, \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eUp, Out \u0026amp; Over\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eis a clear illustration of that.

Poems about parents and parenting, loss and regeneration, long- term relationships and those cut short by tragedy, are all carefully crafted in a clear and moving narrative style, full of inspired language and nuance. The author may have come to poetry a little late in life, but his evolution in the Art has been rapid and built on solid foundations.
