Poetry. The collection, which is 86 pages long, features 51 poems and stories, each lasting about a page and each distinctly different, even while the book is cohesive in its interests and explorations of language and how it's used in our daily routines. In an interview Megan McShea said, If we can 'discover' just one word...we can enter that wild part, the 'true life.' This is a great way to understand what she does in her poems and prose.

Put your brain in the glass domed beatbox of Megan McShea's brain and let her throw you both together against a hundred other kinds of surface. It feels good to be a lot of shattered good glass when the carrier is 700 kinds of music and McShea seems to have studied at the Harvard for Ooh. Full time demon voodoo!--Blake Butler

McShea is one of the only writers I know whose dreams I remember as if they were my own. She makes intricate languagescapes out of the theater of daily emotion.--Lucy Corin
