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.
