"Fear" was the first poem I was able to write after 9/11, and it led, years later, to Parasite Kingdom. Many thanks to @witnessmag, where "Fear" first appeared, and to @TenthGatePrize and @WordWorksEditor. bradrichard.org/blog/

What a superbly intelligent review of Marilyn McCabe’s latest work! “McCabe is wary of succumbing to a mysticism that lacks scientific rigor. She asks big questions and wants hard-nosed, not starry-eyed, answers. ecotheo.org/digging-for-trut…
