Contemporary American poetry by New York State poet, MAC.
With this collection, rooted in pastoral imagery, the poet takes us with her on her quest to find sanctuary. Recounting childhood settings and characters, her experiences with motherhood, family and romantic love, her joy in nature and children, recovery and spirituality, the author seeks an intimacy that rebuffs more cruel realities that are constant references. Beauty and faith mark a pathway to safety and liberation.
Before writing Anna Smudge: Professional Shrink, MAC wrote for Popular Science Magazine, interviewing NASA scientists and covering some pretty cool topics such as asteroids, space junk, and the development of Mars space suits. But MAC is probably most famous for her article regarding catching diseases from public toilets. How is that for a claim to fame?!
