The speakers of these poems inhabit impossible situations, and the poems themselves speak neither of overcoming, nor of being overcome by, these impossibilities, but of the moment of equilibrium between extremes, the moment of uncertainty from which the future emerges. As McCrae writes at the end of his two-part poem on Solomon Northup, \"in the darkness \/ I after a while couldn't be sure \/ My eyes were open.\" These poems assert, and foreground, possibility; the rupture they describe is hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShane McCrae is the author of several poetry collections, including \u003ci\u003eMule\u003c\/i\u003e (2011); \u003ci\u003eBlood\u003c\/i\u003e (2013); \u003ci\u003eThe Animal Too Big to Kill\u003c\/i\u003e (2015); \u003ci\u003eIn the Language of My Captor\u003c\/i\u003e (Wesleyan University Press, 2017), which was a finalist for the National Book Award; and \u003ci\u003eThe Gilded Auction Block\u003c\/i\u003e (2019).
