Door in the Wall

<p><strong>Door in the Wall is startlingly intimate and delicate-in an age of bombast and public shaming-drawing us as only the best poetry can into a quiet inner life and then subtly but with acute sharpness touching the horrific aftermath of war.  McCarthy's poems are witty contemporary and funny too from Amy Winehouse to the Vietnam war-he exposes the deep complexity and mystery of memory and time.</strong></p><p></p>
