WHAT YOU WANT - MAUREEN N MCLANE GEBUNDEN

National Book Award finalist Maureen N. McLane stuns with a precise  perceptive book of poetic
meditations.In her first book of poems since the scintillating More Anon: Selected Poems 
Maureen N. McLane offers a bravura  trenchant sounding out of inner and outer weathers. What
You Want is a book of core landscapes  mindscapes  and shifting moods. Meditative  lyrical 
alert to seasons and pressures on our shared life  McLane registers and shapes an ambient
unease. Whether skying with John Constable or walking on wintry paths in our precarious
republic  the poet channels what Wordsworth called moods of my own mind while she scans for our
common horizon. Here are poems filled with gulls and harbors  blinking red lights and empty
lobster traps  beach roses and rumored sharks  eels and crows  wind turbines and superhighways.
From Sappho to the Luminist painter Fitz Henry Lane  from constellations to microplastics  What
You Want is a book alive to the cosmos as well as to our moment  with its many vexations and
intermittent illuminations. In poems of powerful command and delicate invitation  moving from
swift notations to sustained sequences  this collection sees McLane testing what (if anything)
might outlast the coming heat. And meanwhile  There's no end   to beauty and shit.
