Publisher Marketing:More Anongathers a selection of poems from Maureen N. McLane’s critically acclaimed first five books of poetry.

McLane, whose 2014 collectionThis Bluewas a finalist for the National Book Award, is a poet of wit and play, of romanticism and intellect, of song and polemic.More Anonpresents her work anew. The poems spark with life, and the concentrated selection showcases her energy and style.

As Parul Sehgal wrote inBookforum, “To read McLane is to be reminded that the brain may be an organ, but the mind is a muscle. Hers is a roving, amphibious intelligence; she’s at home in the essay and the fragment, the polemic and the elegy.” InMore Anon, McLane–a poet, scholar, and prizewinning critic–displays the full range of her vertiginous mind and daring experimentation.
