Another Gravity is a collection of poems that spans decades of McKay's writing, from his early work in the 1970s to his most recent poems. Throughout the collection, McKay explores the interconnectedness of these three fundamental elements of our existence. Time, in McKay's hands, is not a linear progression but a fluid and malleable force that can be stretched, warped, and even reversed. Space, too, is not simply a physical realm but a psychological and emotional landscape that can shape our perceptions and experiences.

And the human condition, in all its complexity and fragility, is the central focus of McKay's poetry. He writes about love, loss, memory, and the search for meaning in a world that often seems chaotic and incomprehensible. His poems are filled with vivid imagery and sensory details that bring the reader into his world, allowing us to experience the full range of human emotions.

One of the most striking things about Another Gravity is McKay's use of language. He is a master of the poetic form, and his poems are characterized by their precision, clarity, and musicality. He uses language to create images that are both beautiful and haunting, and his poems often linger in the reader's mind long after they have been read.

Another Gravity is a challenging and rewarding collection of poems that will appeal to readers of all backgrounds. It is a work that will stay with you long after you have finished reading it, and it is sure to become a classic of contemporary poetry.
