His poems mirror back life, (\u201c<em>opiate\u2019s glass<\/em>\u201d . (Traceless of), \u201c<em>naught of the sheet glass\u201d<\/em> (Never Once) reflected as decay, vitality that reaches to extinguishing, the \u201c<em>jugular ash<\/em>\u201d.&nbsp; (Into Echoing)<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cTorn\u2026into echoing\u201d<\/em> suggests reluctance, the tendency to resist the dead sun, breathing- the \u201c<em>scuttling<\/em>\u201d, drive of purpose that regardless, terminates as \u201c<em>scum<\/em>\u201d.&nbsp; Some readers might search for optimism in McAloran\u2019s work, might perhaps see the work of such a prolific poet as optimistic in itself, by virtue of his endurance. In this, we might impose ambition.&nbsp; But I think we would be wrong to do so. His position is consistent:<\/p>\n<p><em>Traceless of-<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Spoken\/ no not ever<\/em><br \/>\n<em> (Asked of\/&nbsp;&nbsp; echoing)<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Erased\/ asked of once<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Exile of scattered<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Breathing<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So why, then, does the poet, so nihilistic and negating, bother with the poem at all? The artist, too, is scuttling. The artist must often reconcile the drive to create internally with purpose, with the role of art in their context. Context seems important here because McAloran\u2019s poetry so clearly leads us away from the constructs of human ego and aggrandizing, from the idea of contributing to a collective human civilization whose sum can be stacked as valuable stock.&nbsp; To what end, in this universe? Toward what, to what end, does humanity toil? \u201c<em>Scuttle\u201d<\/em> suggests an insect, or a crab, &nbsp;without direction, whose movements beyond survival needs are aimless, yet frantic.<br \/>\nThis is McAloran\u2019s human:<\/p>\n<p><em>Scuttle of meat<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Spasm of dread held like an empty room<\/em><\/p>\n<p>(Shadowing)<\/p>\n<p>McAloran makes the distinction between frantic pursuit and biding one\u2019s time. While we don\u2019t come away with an answer to the question of \u201cwhat end?\u201d this is because he doesn\u2019t offer one. The purpose of one\u2019s work in that context does indeed lack a universal imperative and becomes the simple scuttling of biding time, in between survival. One\u2019s actions are often an extension of that survival- vocation, for example, an extension of self-sufficiency. Acts of love might be an extension of the basic needs of procreation and nurturing. But what about the artist? &nbsp;The poet?<\/p>\n<p><em>Speech ever<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Slivers of<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Trace of the without<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Knocking upon<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>(never entering)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Ever of the traces of it<\/em><\/p>\n<p>(Of The Traces of)<\/p>\n<p>What drives the poet to write in the face of such a sense of futility, if it is viewed as futility? Does this interject a certain nobility, to the act, undertaken without that connection to survival? Or would the cynic say that it becomes another tool, a complex tool, that can still be traced to human needs? In some ways, the artist can be seen as a more advanced version of the bird that preens, or dances to attract a mate. Absent that, what drives? And why seek notice? What is the bounty?<\/p>\n<p><em>A closed fist of <\/em><br \/>\n<em> tongues<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>(bounty\/bounty)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>(Never to)<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it can be viewed on a continuum of desperation, that element of frantic, running away from negation tied in the end to social currency. To McAloran, negation seems inevitable.<em> \u201cIn the space between the one and naught\u201d<\/em> (Till Headless Asking) The artist creates, the poet composes, perhaps, to fill hours and to do so simply because it is more enjoyable than another pursuit. &nbsp;(\u201c<em>ashen hands<\/em>\u201d, \u201c<em>black pulse disappearing\u201d<\/em>&nbsp; (Till Headless Asking) Call it hedonist, Dionysian, call it post-modern or call it dada, there is art for its own sake and then there is anti-art, but McAloran is too disciplined and deliberate for the latter. &nbsp;(<em>tread\/tread alone, step, non-step<\/em>) He is concrete then transient, corporeal then vanishing, present then absent.<\/p>\n<p><em>Bankrupt hand<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Flexing of<\/em><br \/>\n<em> The corrupt light<\/em><\/p>\n<p>(In Cornered)<\/p>\n<p>McAloran selects the jugular because it is the conduit, it feeds the mind, a life force, and yet he renders it to ash. &nbsp;And again, pulse:<\/p>\n<p><em>Snare of the pulse<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Echoing still<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Again the ash of it<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Once more the turning of<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Till dredging of<\/em><br \/>\n<em> The once lest there be<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Hollow<\/em><br \/>\n<em> In a flame of naught<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Hissing upwardly at the<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Vacancy of none<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Embers&nbsp;&nbsp; embers<\/em><br \/>\n<em> doused by&nbsp; final piss<\/em><\/p>\n<p>(Doused)<\/p>\n<p>The final piss, the dousing, concludes both physical and creative life, in self destruction or inevitable dousing.
