Bleeding Heart (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781954353022)

This collection moves with careful intensity as it confidently memorializes and draws meaning from some of life's most vital moments: birth, death, loss, love. McQuade's imagery-pure and deeply felt - takes readers on a narrative journey that is free, easy, and unflinching.

Kelly Konya

McQuade's poetry vibrates with the rhythms of the human experience. Themes of new life, death, tragedy and love are explored in the form of currents, both psychological and physical. The beautiful, for McQuade, appears to be the most knowable in the form of process. Existential issues such as death and alienation find resolution in movement. To engage with this invigorating collection is to engage with the currents that run through us all.

Malachy McDonough

Bleeding Heart is, as the title suggests, dangerously soft-hearted. These poems do not shy away from sentimentality, McQuade's reflections on domesticity, mortality, and parenthood are written with the utmost tenderness.
