Venture into When the Cats Yawn and you’ll encounter a collection of poems brimming with singular, vivid images of nature and domesticity, as startling as those in a painting by Magritte and Dali. Gently guiding us through life’s journey – from childhood to old age, solitude to intimacy, and the ordinary to the extraordinary – Kate McNairy infuses her work with a wry humor that leaves you both smiling and thoughtful. These poems resonate with authentic insight and genuine emotion. Perfect for fans of Kay Ryan and Emily Dickinson.

–Ellen White Rook, author of Suspended (Cathexis Northwest Press, 2023)

 

“Tiny and Taut, Kate McNairy’s poems are like quiet fireworks, each one flowers into its own surprising shapes and various colors, expands and lingers long afterwards.”

–Barbara Ungar. Author of After Naming the Animals and Save Our Ship.
