Caliban in Blue

Walter McDonald's poems are not pounded out on the typewriter, but beaten out of life. They taste and breathe and cry. They had to be written. They must be read.There's a deep pleasure in reading a book of poems that are simply and consistently interesting. McDonald's poems are that, except that "simply" may not be the right word. They move with complex and contrary forces. And they are informed by experience and perspective rare in a first book.McDonald, Walter is the author of 'Caliban in Blue' with ISBN 9780896720541 and ISBN 0896720543.
