In her fifth book of poems, McLane continues her \"songs of a season\" even as she responds to new vibrations--political, geological, transpersonal, trans-specific. Moving through forests and cities, up mountains, across oceans, toward a common interior, she sounds out the ecological mesh of the animate and inanimate. These are poems that make tracks in our \"unmarked dark\" as the poet explores \"a cosmos full \/ of people and black holes.\" From its troubled, exhilarated dawns to its scanned night sky, \u003ci\u003eSome Say \u003c\/i\u003eis both a furthering and a summation by a poet scouring and singing the world \"full \/\/ as it always was \/ of wings \/ of meaning and nothing.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maureen N.
