Description
“Time Signatures” is Chris McCully’s first book of poems. It reflects his fascination – as student, scholar and theorist with the procedures of writing verse, especially with rhythmical and metrical structures. The subject-matter here is drawn from the full range of his preoccupations – fly-fishing, teaching, travel, desire and loss. The work is neither “new formalist” nor “post-modern” but rooted in the history of the language and its verse traditions.
