Salms navigates the ancient, vexed lyric landscape of the biblical psalm, where gratitude is arrived at through complaint and yearning is smuggled in alongside tribute. Formally restless and diverse, Aaron McCollough's style moves from flinty Anglo-Norman terseness through folktale to long-lined, journal-like confessional. The poems' sounds and forms bind to the divine histories of the Western lyric tradition at points of fragility and potential disintegration.
