                            CREDO

Finalist in the Brick Road Poetry Press Contest 




"Steve McDonald’s Credo is an accomplished, thoughtful, and infinitely engaging book. . . . Each of the twelve sections of the book—the twelve ‘steps'—moves between the conviction that all life is transitory and the equally strong conviction that there is ‘immortality,' or as McDonald defines it, a 'once more, one more breath.'  Intelligent, honest, straight-forward, these poems are a joy to spend time with.  Each one reaffirms the faith that poetry matters.”                                                  --Gail Wronsky, Imperfect Pastorals

GOLDEN FISH / DARK POND

Winner of The Comstock Writers Group Chapbook Contest 2014



"Steve McDonald’s new collection, Golden Fish / Dark Pond, is a stunning and deeply moving sequence of meditations. Here is a poet who creates—even as he reflects upon—the metaphysics of passage that we each seek, perhaps most often while we move through despair toward some iridescence of faith."       --David St. John,  The Auroras
