A debut poetry collection of considerable historical significance, "Citizens of the Mist" inaugurated the University of Queensland Press's poetry publishing program and introduced one of Australia's most distinctive literary voices before McDonald turned to fiction. The collection draws its energy from socially oriented, impressionistic portraits of human lives, fixing on crucial and fleeting moments in characters' existences, including figures drawn from the nineteenth century such as Emily Dickinson and her world, rendering them as shadowy presences caught between the known and the unknowable, people who, as the title poem suggests, walk through their lives gaining only as much clarity as a single footstep affords.
