This is a collection of poems spanning several decades, along with those written during the past few years. Nature is celebrated here. Both love and death also loom large. So does mystery. Hungry for understanding, McLaughlin immerses himself in the wild time and time again only to emerge from it with a passionate unknowing. His wandering is an endless groping for what is impossible to achieve. Yet there is reward enough in those fleeting, precious moments of being fully alive, as his verse so often illustrates.
