For his second collection, At the Foot of a Mountain, Kevin J. McDaniel’s speakers wrestle with what feel like traumatic moments, moments (big or small) in a person’s life when he or she believes an 'entire mountainside' will come crashing down, as the speaker laments in the chapbook’s title poem, 'At the Foot of a Mountain.' Nevertheless, by the end, readers are encouraged by the speaker’s hope in a rebirth: 'but I know spring/will come again on wings/of a gentler breeze that uplifts/saplings rooted sideways/in moonmilk underground.'
