ILL NATURE

The collection features a blend of sardonic humor and stark reflections on our troubled environment. McKeown's signature spare elegance is present, yet it conveys a grimmer tone, focusing on the raw realities of urban nature and complex relationships. The poems offer a mix of quiet passion, candid confessions, and a bittersweet recognition of love's challenges, all infused with dry humor and an unflinching honesty that captures the heart's misadventures.
