Up From Dust
ISBN: 1-59924-423-3
By Joan McLean
Finishing Line Press, $14
McLean's poems challenge our sense of reality, of what can or cannot happen in this world. A biologist's take on magic, “Up From Dust” holds the ordinary up to the light, slides it under the microscope. “...[A]lthough McLean captures the lyrical beauty of nature, these poems are more than simple celebrations of the world. They look directly at the way beauty, even celebrated, can't lessen one's sense of isolation and desire to belong.” —Richard Krawiec
