From a very young age, McKenna has practiced writing creatively and as the years progressed, they started drifting towards poetry as their major art form. As Time Walks By includes the poems they have written that they have deemed the best from 2020 through early-2022. Contained within this anthology is a strikingly honest exploration of a mind tortured by the social mechanisms that form the lattice of our society - a strong, seemingly unbreakable lattice. Though it works for many, for McKenna it is a source of much heartache, brilliantly expressed in the lines found between the covers of this collection.
