""McCrae approaches Dante's allegorical vision with an urgency derived from a struggle that collapses the personal and the social, until the metaphysical realm seems the only possible stage. . . . [He] exploits, in a way that few other modern poets have been able to, the power of allegory."" --Elisa Gonzalez, The New Yorker
