His work has most recently appeared in \"Knock, Etc: a Review of General Semantics,\" and in the NeoPoiesis anthology \"Candy. Wisdom \u0026amp; Dust\" is his first poetry collection. \u003cbr\u003eReviews \u003cbr\u003e Like water into wine, McCrea consistently and effortlessly transforms the quotidian into the revelatory. Wisdom \u0026amp; Dust dazzles and surprises with its pathos, wit, and insight. \u003cbr\u003e   - Jonathan Evison, author of \"All About Lulu\" and \"West of Here\" \u003cbr\u003e The impressive poems in \"Wisdom \u0026amp; Dust\" have the swagger and pulse of the authentic. McCrea's characters, filled with equal parts rage and longing, bravado and despair, live in a universe where sucker punches and life-changing epiphanies wait at every turn. \u003cbr\u003e  - James P. Othmer, author of \"The Futurist \"and \"Holy Water\" \u003cbr\u003e Vivid and revealing, Neil McCrea's \"Wisdom \u0026amp; Dust\" tells stories of lust, love, lawlessness, and root beer. The powerful but dark outlook reminds one of Salinger's \"Catcher in the Rye,\" but with a sexual twist. \u003cbr\u003e  - Alyse Black International Award-Winning Touring \u0026amp; Recording Artist \u003cbr\u003e Following Neil McCrea's optimistic and innocent boy into manhood left me feeling like I'd committed some sort of new sin myself, like I was partly responsible for his descent into all of this cool, blue madness. \u003cbr\u003e  - Jeannette Kantzalis, songwriter\/novelist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Neopoiesis Press, LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780981998473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.51h x 8.50w x 0.45d","brand":"Neil McCrea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42547781566645,"sku":"9780981998473","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_d929de00-b0a9-40c8-acf5-0f48b4e25baa.jpg?v=1670337091","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/wisdom-dust-9780981998473","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
