As David Woo wrote in Poetry, \"McCrae's poems allude to literary precursors like Dante, Milton, and the Bible, but the voice is unabashedly of our time . . . By seeking to heal the rift in his own identity, McCrae has listened intently to the literary echoes emanating from the English language and transmuted them through his own dynamic voice.\" Here, he gathers new and previous work as a culmination of his long-standing poetic project: a new and unforgettable journey through Hell. McCrae's work is indelible, and this collection brings his searing vision to new depths.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eShane McCrae \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of several books of poetry, including \u003ci\u003eIn the Language of My Captor\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award and was a finalist for the National Book Award, the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and the William Carlos Williams Award; \u003ci\u003eSometimes I Never Suffered\u003c\/i\u003e, which was short-listed for the T.
