The Mason Spirit

Jeffrey McDaniel,
MFA Creative Writing ’93

University of Pittsburgh Press, 2008

The Endarkenment delves into the world of poetry with vividly mature poems about family, sexuality, and society. The poems reflect an autobiographical glimpse of McDaniel’s life experiences—good, bad, funny, or serious.

The recipient of a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, McDaniel has been published in Ploughshares, The Best American Poetry 1994, and The New Young American Poets. McDaniel is a professor at Sarah Lawrence College and lives in New York with his family. The Endarkenment is his fourth book.
