Title: Hope runs through it
Description: MacKay's poems are luminous with perception and grace, but grounded by heart wrenching detail. While a variety of topics make an appearance, Hope runs through it is a narrative collection--the string that winds through the book is MacKay's sometimes sorrowful, sometimes overwhelming, often joyful experience of raising a child with special needs. Her award-winning poems have appeared in The Aurorean, Nantucket Magazine, and other publications.
