New Revew: Entrepot by Mark McMorris at The Quarterly Conversation

The newest review at The Quarterly Conversation is Entrepôt by Mark McMorris. You can read the full review right here.

Here’s the start:

To say that Mark McMorris’s Entrepôt is about writing poetry is to do a huge disservice to this beautiful and penetrating book, whose ostensible subject of contemplation is how to live, love, and make do in a time of war, if not cultural crisis. On the other hand, the book’s greatest service, at least to my eye, is in its exploration of just what it means to be a poet—I should be more specific and say a lyric poet—amid our contemporary terrors.
