the book of sentences
rob mclennan
A catalogue of images, a mash-up of fragments of daily observations, pop culture, historical and current events, weather, medical appointments, pandemic experiences, and more – these poems present language as landscape, using the vocabulary of linguistics in witty and tender meditations, odes, elegies, and occasional poetry.

the book of smaller
rob mclennan

World’s End
rob mclennan
In this new collection, fragmented sentences and fragmented images explore fragmented ways of thinking (“We do not think in sentences” is one of the rare full sentences) and being, and provide technical discomfort to reflect the discomfort of the aging body, dislocations of place, the sorrow of loss, and the life of a father and poet.
