THE POETRY SHED REVIEWS Mary Mackey


Congratulations to Mary Mackey for the new review of her book The Jaguars That Prowl Our Dreams! You can see the review HERE, but here's an excerpt:
"One can’t help but be impressed by Mackey’s dynamic range, the fluidity of her lines, and the strength of her convictions. If these poems hadn’t already been written, they would be waiting for someone to write them down, not only for us to enjoy but as a gift to future generations. . . . This is a book I will return to again and again for its wisdom, its humility and its irrepressible spirit. Read it and you will not be disappointed except for the fact that it must eventually end. I can’t recommend it enough. Without poets like Mary Mackey our lives would be poorer indeed.”
