Neil McCrea is a poet and author living in the Pacific Northwest. His work has most recently appeared in Knock, Etc: a Review of General Semantics, and in the NeoPoiesis anthology Candy. Wisdom & Dust is his first poetry collection. Reviews Like water into wine, McCrea consistently and effortlessly transforms the quotidian into the revelatory. Wisdom & Dust dazzles and surprises with its pathos, wit, and insight.
- Jonathan Evison, author of All About Lulu and West of Here The impressive poems in Wisdom & Dust have the swagger and pulse of the authentic. McCrea's characters, filled with equal parts rage and longing, bravado and despair, live in a universe where sucker punches and life-changing epiphanies wait at every turn.
- James P. Othmer, author of The Futurist and Holy Water Vivid and revealing, Neil McCrea's Wisdom & Dust tells stories of lust, love, lawlessness, and root beer. The powerful but dark outlook reminds one of Salinger's Catcher in the Rye, but with a sexual twist.
- Alyse Black - International Award-Winning Touring & Recording Artist Following Neil McCrea's optimistic and innocent boy into manhood left me feeling like I'd committed some sort of new sin myself, like I was partly responsible for his descent into all of this cool, blue madness.
- Jeannette Kantzalis, songwriter/novelist
