Mackey is one of many poets acknowledged by Dennis Tedlock in his "2000 Years of Mayan Literature." I was delighted to discover among them many writers about whom I've been curious. Los Angeles Public Library had about half of them. I learned about Mackey when he won the Nat'l Book Award for Poetry in 2006. He says "Blue Fasa" is a continuation of two serial poems, "Song of the Andoumboulou" and "Mu."
