Klappentext

Michael McTague delves into the complexities of life, aging, illness, and the passage of time. Through a well-developed argument and beautiful language, McTague examines autobiographical and social issues including the thrill of victory through sports, the intimate silence of old age and the loud disrupt of contemporary conflict. Every verse is a meditation on man, and as such contains thoughts about diverse, essential subjects spanning death, grief, and wholeness. Even the devil comes into view under the author's microscope. A student of American poet James Wright, he delves into the fascination of victory and death.
