Book excerpt: Poetry. "'How strange it is to live in these bodies /and pretend we are not judged;' writes Becka McKay in her newest collection; THE LITTLE BOOK OF NO CONSOLATION. McKay's imagination takes us far away from our earthly bodies through dreamscapes of terror and possibility. With a fanciful Dictionary of Misremembered English and mistranslated phrases as her guide; she reimagines Biblical figures; governments; and language's very syntax. McKay spins her poems as though spinning plates; on a pole of syntax all her own; the gyroscopic effect dazzling."--Denise Duhamel
