Summer Solstice: An Essay (Black Sparrow, 2020)
“MacLaughlin’s four-part lyric essay…ultimately renders the season a kind of wildly faceted mirror for both life and death, procreation and decay. And yet the fun stuff, MacLaughlin reminds us on every page, lies between such extremes.”
-Kim Adrian, The Rumpus
