The Dictionary of Unspellable Noises: New & Selected Poems 1975 - 2018 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781941209882)

The Dictionary of Unspeakable Noise: New & Selected Poems 1975-2018 shows how Clint McCown ". . .keeps a wry eye on the universe and thereby keeps his sanity and ours." And why "He is asking all or most of the big questions, which are still the right questions," according to Roger Mitchell. Matthew Dickman says that McCown's poetry ". . .delves into the unruly world of nature, not as a guide or simply as scenery, but with the steady gaze of the late John Haines. Here nature, family, and selfhood are not just talked about but explored and questioned." Open this book to any page and you'll find Clint McCown turning the universe over and over in his mind to find the answers to his sometimes unusual and always perceptive questions.
