- Book Synopsis
- Human Misunderstanding is the latest work by award-winning poet Kathy Mac. The first of the book's three long poems compares a fictional child soldier (a hero) with a real child soldier (a victim). The second juxtaposes eighteenth century philosophy with one person's search for another in downtown Halifax. The final poem explores two court cases in which an immigrant faces deportation, and torture, if found guilty of assault in a Canadian court.
- About The Author
- Kathy Mac has published two books of poems: The Hundefräulein Papers (2009) about the years she spent as the dogsitter of Elisabeth Mann Borgese, and Nail Builders Plan for Strength and Growth (2002) which won the Gerald Lampert Award and was a finalist for the Governor General's Award. As Kathleen McConnell, she's also published the analytico-poetic book of essays Pain, Porn and Complicity: Women Heroes from Pygmalion to Twilight (2012). Despite a typically wander-filled early-writer's life, she's mostly settled in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, where she teaches creative writing and literature at St. Thomas University.
