Poetry by Michael Lally

In Cant Be Wrong, the take-no-prisoners stance of Lallys early work is tempered with a deepening tenderness and awareness of human mortality. There is an unmistakable mastery of a colloquial, intimate tone that moves through level after level of experience without ever losing the reader. A superb craftsman who pushes the envelope of what can be said in poetry, Lally is also that rare poet who communicates with a lyrical but unabashed directness that respects the readers desire to understand.
