Spare but generous, elliptical but precise and often funny, Tom McSorley makes poems out of the bracing experience of the utterly normal and the large emotion rumbling quietly beneath it — parenting, teaching college, caring for one’s own aging parents. These poems are built from elusive, fleeting insights, the startled partial clarity that compels urgent articulation.
