Dear Hero,
Marsh Hawk Press, 2013
Winner, 2012 Marsh Hawk Press Poetry Prize
“Welcome to the place where the capes are tattered and frayed. Within these pages Joseph Campbell and Jack Kirby are neighbors. Sigmund Freud and Stan Lee are architects. Homer and Philip K. Dick play poker while frightened children await their turn to be fitted for a cape and cowl that promises nothing but, somehow, is their only hope for salvation. McCall has created a collection unlike any other. He has combined infinite Earths of the human subconscious, of Joseph Campbell’s famed ‘hero quest’ and managed to turn crisis into catharsis. There should be more collections like this, more heroes like McCall.” -Jason Mott
