The various subjects of these poems are viewed by an artist, a devil, a soul floating out of a body it had inhabited, a god fed up with her husband's infidelities, and a father whose young child has COVID-19. The poems of \u003ci\u003eTwo Appearances After the Resurrection\u003c\/i\u003e are haunted by the question of what one ought to do with their perceivability. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e After a decade of publishing poems almost exclusively utilizing no punctuation aside from the slash, Shane McCrae began including semi-regular punctuation in his 2023 book, \u003ci\u003eThe Many Hundreds of the Scent\u003c\/i\u003e. He continues that project in \u003ci\u003eTwo Appearances After the Resurrection\u003c\/i\u003e. Here, he further explores the consequences--especially the rhythmical consequences--of the change. Throughout these poems, McCrae perceives and implicitly considers his own shifting approaches to writing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eShane McCrae\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of poetry collections including \u003ci\u003eNew and Collected Hell \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Many Hundreds of the Scent \u003c\/i\u003eand a memoir, \u003ci\u003ePulling the Chariot of the Sun\u003c\/i\u003e.
