A Lifetime of Reflection, Wonder, and Presence
At age 92, Lucie McKee MFA '86 has released her poetry collection debut, Anything and Its Shadow, published through Vermont's Green Writers Press.
Reports Mountain Times:
"Anything and Its Shadow is a contemplative collection of poems that explores themes of love, loss, and the ever-present struggle to live meaningfully. Through vivid imagery drawn from nature, food, and memory, McKee’s voice is at once lyrical, wry, and grounded—marking her arrival in the literary world with grace and quiet authority."
Former Vermont Poet Laureate Mary Ruefle '74 brought McKee's work to the attention of Green Writers Press, praising her work as “mature, elegant poems...written by such an attentive heart.”
