Not Quite Without a Moon (Peepal Tree Press) gathers Ian McDonald’s poems written over the past four years. Though the novel The Hummingbird Tree is the Trinidad-born writer’s best-known work, his career as a poet is both prolific and resonant. This new collection meditates on family ties and the tenacious consolations of nature even amid climate crisis, summoning questions on the poet’s role in preserving and sustaining memory.
