From the publisher: “Shinemaster is a book about discovering plenitude in apparent scarcity. It presents this human paradox in lively and often playful fashion, with poems about sweet potatoes, popular music, spitwads, sex education, family and marriage, cafeterias, Sunday School, and a shoeshine kit. McFee’s poems are lucid and vivid, ranging in length from quick lyrics to more extended poems about kissing, sneezing, whistling, and making art. Shinemaster is a book about discovering plenitude in apparent scarcity.
