This compilation features a range of verse that evokes themes of nature, love, nostalgia, and the essence of life and loss. The verses reflect the poet's personal experiences and sentiments, often conveyed through vivid imagery and emotional depth." "The opening of "Katydid's Poems" includes a heartfelt dedication and a letter praising the poet's work for its natural beauty and musicality. The first poem, "To a Katydid," establishes the tone as it personifies the katydid, celebrating its haunting song as a source of inspiration rather than a mere discordant note. The scene transitions into a nostalgic reflection on childhood and home in the subsequent verses, revealing McKinney's intention to weave personal memories with poetic musings on nature, family, and emotional connections. This opening sets the stage for a collection rich in warmth and lyrical grace, inviting readers to explore her world."
