Stereospace

In her sparkling debut collection MK McWilliams meditates on the spaces and times and spacetimes that collide with the human nervous system. Environment and body the body environment personal space and the personable space. The manufacture of a moment a when; the location of where; a person a who; all intertwined with the spontanaeity and briefness that is the main side-effect of mortality. The human being as a membrane through which time passes changed. The floating giant eyeball poet raw and exposed to the elements all-seeing and -feeling from atop her mobile bipod navigator of life and when life includes literature of literature. The poet is free to feel if she dares. The poet is free to know the world and if she so chooses to say that she knows what she knows. She is free to fight. She is free to exclaim I am. To define who that speaker is. This is poetry put to its true purpose. This is poetry skimmed like cream from the top and drawn ike clean water from a well. This is the bucket.
