What we know so far is…, the new poetry collection by Conor Mc Donnell, author of This Insistent List and Recovery Community
In a powerful long poem that captures the disquiet of our age with cinematic language and imagery, Conor Mc Donnell’s What We Know So Far Is … harkens back to the previous century in its daring. Drawing from his Irish heritage, his experience as a pediatrician and many other sources, Mc Donnell has created a work that echoes the scope of T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land and Hart Crane’s The Bridge.
Advance praise for What we know so far is…
“Blending references to medicine and zombie movies, to Donnie Darko and anatomy, to internet meme culture and the musicality of Radiohead, Joy Division and the Pixies, What We Know So Far Is … asks us to consider both the power and futility of words in connecting us – to our past and future selves, to each other, and to the earth.” – Paola Ferrante, author of Her Body Among Animals
