"Poetry enables the reader to see differently, deeper, reverently ... Michael McCarthy's writings take the reader inside family, nature, sports, work, and life and death to see the hidden sacred, beauty, and spirit. Read The Ways of Grace slowly, imagine the scenes, and immerse in the mystery therein. Allow yourself to see differently." - Robert J. McCarty, Author of Raising Happy, Healthy, and Holy Teenagers: A Primer for Parents"Michael McCarthy's poems are like fine Shaker furniture: solid, graceful, clean lines and a simple honesty that are a pleasure to behold. These poems have a functional durability; my friends, family and students have been sitting with them for years." - Phil Marinelli, High School Teacher and Life Coach"Truly Michael McCarthy has given us a beautiful collection of poems that are both accessible and deep. Each poem reveals the mystery of grace hidden in the ordinary. 'It's All Here, ' as he says. And he asks, 'What about you?' Will you enter into the 'true communion' of friendship and life? This book is a grace, drawing us into the mystery." - Connie Loos, Chair of the Religious Studies Department, St. John the Baptist High School "From the loss of love, to a single, yellow flower screaming out to be seen, to the deepness of a tree's roots, The Ways of Grace challenges us to take time to notice the beauty, pain, immensity, and love in the very small moments of our lives. Read this collection of poems and you will want to notice more." - Rob Dircks, Author of Where the Hell is Tesla?

Bob Dylan said reading Jack Kerouac's famed Beat Generation masterpiece On the Road changed his life. Some say it also changed America, from an uptight post war society obsessed with conformity to the swinging sixties that spawned the hippies, an interest in eastern philosophy and the 'back to the land' movement. But the summer before On the Road made Kerouac world famous, Kerouac spent months in solitude as a fire lookout atop Desolation Peak (upper left of photo), the inspiration for what became The Dharma Bums. Half a century later, Kerouac's tiny cabin in the remote Cascades Wilderness has become a place of pilgrimage for followers of his work, those capable of making the trek.In Tracking Jack, Following Kerouac to Desolation Peak travel writer Michael McCarthy makes the long journey to this remote wilderness, across two mighty dams and two alpine lakes, via rustic barge, and then finally on foot up the trail to 6,000-foot Desolation Peak. Along the arduous path he wonders: "Why has Kerouac's legend endured so long? What did he say that was so important that - half a century later - his work is more popular than ever? What did he learn here atop his lonely mountain?"
