Description:
Luminous intelligence spills from these poems, a "hum of starlight" to accompany us in
our daily rounds, "keeping the atoms organized / patted into the shape / of a body," if
occasionally feeling "homesick / for who knows what." McCollough answers that "what,"
nourishing an essential hunger.
--Heather Treseler, author of Auguries & Divinations
