Door in the Wall is startlingly intimate and delicate-in an age of bombast and public shaming-drawing us, as only the best poetry can, into a quiet inner life and then, subtly, but with acute sharpness, touching the horrific aftermath of war. McCarthy's poems are witty, contemporary, and funny, too, from Amy Winehouse to the Vietnam war-he exposes the deep complexity and mystery of memory and time.
