Description
Always explosive and lit, Fuse burns with the fury of a many-minded intelligence and an ever-expanding heart. — Dean Young
In his best poems Marc McKee achieves the impossible: his verse is quicker than life. There's a wonderful gallop in these lines. The jetliner of poetry triumphs over local trains of everyday existence. — Adam Zagajewski
How does one make the ineluctable and changing connections between changing objects and changing people? How does one balance aggressive history with the demanding influx of personal experience? Fuse is an attempt to substitute poems for answers to such questions.
