Maureen N. McLane
Harvard Book Store's virtual event series welcomes acclaimed poet MAUREEN N. MCLANE—author of This Blue, a finalist for the National Book Award—for a discussion of her latest poetry collection, More Anon: Selected Poems. She will be joined in conversation by poet KATIE PETERSON, author of The Accounts, A Piece of Good News, and Life in a Field.
More Anon gathers a selection of poems from Maureen N. McLane’s critically acclaimed first five books of poetry.
McLane, whose 2014 collection This Blue was a finalist for the National Book Award, is a poet of wit and play, of romanticism and intellect, of song and polemic. More Anon presents her work anew. The poems spark with life, and the concentrated selection showcases her energy and style.
As Parul Seghal wrote in Bookforum, “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.” In More Anon, McLane—a poet, scholar, and prizewinning critic—displays the full range of her vertiginous mind and daring experimentation.
