Beskrivning
Winner of the 2015 PEN New England Award for PoetryThe linked poems in The Lost Child explore hope, delusion, family struggles, and lost selves through the people and places in the Ozarks of Southern Missouri. But the most important theme of all is reconciliation, as McNair attempts through these poems to know and understand his mother through the place she was born.

Praise for Wesley McNair“One of the great storytellers of contemporary poetry.”—Philip Levine, Poet Laureate and Pulitzer Prize-winner“Because he is a true poet, his New England is unlimited. Whole lives fill small lines, real to this poet, therefore to us.”—Donald Hall, Harvard Book ReviewDwellers in the House of the Lord: “There’s so much life in this beautiful book that it feels like a living thing. Wesley McNair is a kind of Chekhov of American poetry.”—Ted Kooser, Pulitzer Prize winner and Poet LaureateThe Ghosts of Me and You: “McNair’s poems are full of people with lives like his own, like ours, ordinary lives that are incredibly unique and complex.”—Louis McKee, Library JournalThe Unfastening: “A distinctly New England strain of candor and restraint and a walloping matter-of-factness.”—The Boston GlobeThe Town of No & My Brother Running: “McNair is one of the only handful of younger poets willing to take risks. This is, without a doubt, one of the year’s best poetry collections.”—ALA Booklist
