art is incompatible with narrow-mindedness

Muddy Matterhorn

MUDDY MATTERHORN

McHugh’s first full collection of poems in a decade, MUDDY MATTERHORN explores and subverts our investments in some highfalutin human domains— our loves and deaths, our languages and our illusions. Homing in on patterns in the wild, through songs and images, she finds out where we’re wariest, and most beguiled.

Wanna eavesdrop on a poet’s earshots over the time the book was being made? (You got a spare 12 hours?) Don’t look for any pigeonhole. Unholy bedfellows assembled here—a crazy roost of crooning, swooning, versing, cursing, harping, carping, meadowlarking, news and noise. Some zing for your wingtips; some guano to go; some long-haul wake-dances, with rest stops.
