I Heart Your Fate - Paperback

by Anthony McCann (Author)

It's strange to be seen, I've said to a tree
To have trembled so much while breathing the air

With humor, irreverence, and sincere longing, McCann's poems sever the distinction between dream and reality, person and animal. "I don't have a body to feel afraid," writes McCann, and these poems, bald and imaginative, almost convince the reader it must be so, save for the fact that they are so vitally, essentially human.
