rob mclennan
is poetry’s
most prolific
cheerleader.
If he’s not
celebrating
the work
of a poet
or providing
a generous
review, he’s
releasing chapbooks
from talented
writers through
above/ground press.
On top of this
passionate undertaking,
he’s also a hell
of a poet.
With his newest
collection
of prose poems,
The Book of Smaller
feels like
a pandemic book
or a lockdown book,
despite it being written
pre-COVID. Meditative,
ambient,
domestic,
and insightful,
it’s made up
of the sparse moments
of free time
while caring for
young children.
Read one a day
for an entire
season
and see
how you feel.
