	NOVA \| Origins \| Does Mars Have Life? \| PBS
		While McKay thinks the chances that life still exists on Mars are vanishingly remote, he is optimistic that the planet once hosted living things, and he says that, if asked, he would willingly go help search for their remains.
		McKay: Well, suppose you were on Mars three to four billion years ago, and you were walking around on this very nice world with a thick atmosphere and water, and everything was just fine.
		McKay: There is some evidence that suggests there is still some activity that could be related to the presence of liquid water, or the melting of snow, or the melting of ice in recent times.

	The Griffin Trust For Excellence In Poetry: Shortlist 2001 - Don McKay
		Don McKay won Canada’s Governor General’s Award for Night Field (1991), and prior to that was a finalist for Birding, or desire (1983), which won him the Canadian Authors Association Award for Poetry.
		Don McKay is on the faculty of “In the Field,” a low-residency program in contemplative philosophy, environmental thought and writing at St. Peter’s College, Muenster, Saskatchewan.
		Don McKay’s journey through closely observed places and creatures not only brings them alive with great panache, it explores a more humane way of living on earth, “bereft and happy, my whole mind/applauding.” These wonderfully bittersweet poems establish a rich vocabulary of dwelling – have “lift and drag,” of homing and leaving home.

	The Antigonish Review 139: Brian Bartlett Essay
		McKay's fastidiousness is revealed - and created - not only by aptly chosen nouns, verbs, and adjectives, but also by prepositions, as at the start of "Paddling in November" (LS): "Not on but in, / to." Another form of exactitude is that of crafted pacing, such as with line-endings and -beginnings.
		Don McKay's poems are drawn to the exhilarations of speed.
		For McKay that rash action is emblematic, both in the way it connects to later poems in the book that feature the figure of Icarus or deal with flight off the earth (note the titles "Lift," "Glide," "Hover") and in the way it connects to the first poem's introductory lines.

		McKay is probably better known around Athens and Atlanta for his live concert photography, and a look around his portfolio at www.concertshots.com reveals one truism about the man behind the Critical Darlings: McKay has a huge soft spot for the kind of showy, arena rock exhibited by bands like Van Halen.
		McKay is on the second stage now as the band, comprised of Tom Bavis (recently of Twain) on drums and Frank Defreese (formerly of Star Zero) on bass, has been officially pulled together and is in the process of tightening up.
		McKay recorded the songs at home, uploaded them to a page at his website, www.concertshots.com, and asked for unadulterated critiques of the material from any and every one that would participate.

	Amazon.ca: Apparatus: Books: Don Mckay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Don McKay is a poet of considerable gifts, which are, in general, badly deployed.
		While McKay is capable of splendid turns of phrase and insights that practically sting the reader's mind, the sense of his poems is often elusive.
		The central problem in McKay's work is manifested in "Fates Worse than Death", which opens with the startling lines "Atrocity/ implies an audience of gods." This is the second piece in the sequence "Matériel", which, with gestures towards sexual politics, examines the bloodthirstiness of human history since Cain.

	Voice 4 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		A small but interested crowd welcomed Don McKay to the English Department on September 25th.
		McKay is the author of nine books of poetry including Night Field, for which he won the Governor General’s Award, and Another Gravity, his latest from McClelland and Stewart.
		His poetry ranges thematically in subject from birding to softball, to the mysteries of sax acoustics, to moon origin theories, to the theory of flight.

	Wilfrid Laurier University Press, Field Marks
		This volume features thirty-five of Don McKays best poems, which are selected with a contextualizing introduction by Mira Cook that probes wilderness and representation in McKay, and the canny, quirky, thoughtful, and sometimes comic self-consciousness the poems adumbrate.
		Included is McKay's afterword written especially for this volume in which McKay reflects on his own writing process—its relationship to the earth and to metamorphosis.
		Don McKay was shortlisted for the 2005 Griffin Poetry Prize for Camber.

	AlterNet: Same-Day Democracy Brings the People to the Polls
		McKay, whose family is heir to the Taco Bell fortune (long ago sold to Pepsi-Cola), invested $1 million to get the initiative on the ballot and chairs a family foundation that has supported efforts to redistribute resources like the Living Wage law passed in San Francisco, Santa Monica and other California cities.
		Rob McKay's commitment to EDVR marks the emergence of a new kind of state leader, who advocates for the large numbers of people who have been left behind instead of promoting the narrow interests of small groups or the rolling back of social progress.

	To Scavenge and Invent: the Shamanic Journey in Don McKay's Lependu
		McKay's sympathetic recreation of Burley in "The Confession" foreshadows his attempt to reconstruct a nonEuropean history for London, Ont. in "True Confessions: a phrenology for the antlered man", and establishes his distrust of our Western insistence on hierarchies, classes, categories.
		For McKay, the insurance company becomes the inverse of Burley's skull, for it is a glorified and socially accepted monument to death (and the fear of death) whereas the skull is a suppressed (boxed in) monument to life deprived (as Burley's was) of its potential for the sacred as well as the profane.
		By justaposition McKay seems to suggest that the park still has some connection with a "sacred time", that time, according to Eliade, which is "reversible and recoverable, as sort of eternal mythical present that is periodically reintegrated by means of rites".

	Be-wildering: The Poetry of Don McKay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		McKay's poetry might be described as one long project of translation, of attempts to open his poems to a criss-cross of otherness.
		McKay is eloquent on metaphor in 'Remembering Apparatus,' but he is slow, as theory and criticism is slow: slow and steady and patient, a tortoise, isolating and stilling cross-sections of life, like the life of a poem, in the hope of catching something of the whole.
		To turn from McKay's remarks about metaphor (or syntax) to his own poetic practice is to enter a rapids, a rush of process, in which metaphor often succeeds metaphor in segue or leap or metamorphosis or insinuation.

		The youngest son of the team's first head coach -- the legendary John McKay -- Rich was the Bucs' 17-year-old ball boy in 1976, when Tampa Bay turned in the worst record of any NFL expansion team ever, going 0-14.
		I was always partial to McKay's classic in late training camp in 1976, when he was asked about the team's left-footed, German-born placekicker named Pete Rajecki.

		McKay himself, in the title poem, calls poetry, "That rising curve, the fine line / between craft and magic where we / travel uphill without effort." These are poems that appear and disappear like the imprint of a bird in the sky.
		McKay's true theme is language itself, its ability to fly and fall, its music, its place in our everyday lives.
		To say that I am a great admirer of Don McKay’s poetry would be a vast understatement, though it was only a few short years ago that I thumbed through a copy of Birding, or desire at a friend’s house, arriving randomly on page seventeen.

		In this extraordinary collection from one of our most celebrated poets, Don McKay walks the strike-slip fault between poetry and landscape, sticks its strange nose into the cold silence of geologic time, meditates on marble, quartz and gneiss, and attends to the songs of ravens and thrushes and to the clamour of the industrialized bush.
		“Don McKay’s poems succeed at both the intellectual and the instinctive level.
