Ordinary Beans: Poems by Gwyn McVay

"A restless, hyper-referential book, pressing through killer desert winds to coal countries; thoroughly situating and deracinating from Tonga to the Joisey Toinpike, and from kitchen sink to dojo. It is an odic elegy, it is an elegiac ode composed of Everything and nothing. Call it a fugue composed between states. It is a pot of no ordinary beans." —C.D. Wright

"A vividness and lushness of diction—that stubborn willingness to say whatever it takes to bring the poem alive for the reader—distinguishes Gwyn McVay’s poems from the vast majority of young poets publishing today. Combined with a serious and politically charged regard for our world, these poems are mature artistically as well as intellectually. When I came to the end, I wanted more." —Bruce Weigl
