From his open-ended long poem "The Julian Days," framing abstract and representational takes on life and death with a calendar system that is cumulative rather than cyclical; to poems that respond to the auras of the visual and the aural that envelope language; to a poetic narrative enacting a history of what Charles Olson called "the human universe"; McElroy constantly engages the matter and light scattering surfaces of what words mean.
