Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. "McGrath [is] a writer who could help save poetry from academia and get the rest of us reading it again." --Outside Magazine From the MacArthur "Genius Grant" and Kingsley Tufts Award winner Campbell McGrath, acclaimed author of Shannon, comes In the Kingdom of the Sea Monkeys, an electric new collection of poetry. Writing in the poetic tradition of Walt Whitman, McGrath captivates with ironic romanticism as he lyrically explores the banality of the everyday--from the decay and transformation of the nation's cities to "Shopping for Pomegranates at Wal-Mart on New Year's Day"--in poems that entreat us to love what endures amid the detritus of American pop culture.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good.

Based on years of historical research and cultural investigation, XX turns poetry into an archival inquiry and a choral documentary. Hollywood and Hiroshima, Modernism and propaganda, Bob Dylan and Walter Benjamin--its range of interest encompasses the entire century of art and culture, invention and struggle.

Hardback. Condizione: Good. A collection of profound and piercing poems from a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize about navigating the modern world in search of beauty that will endure Fever of Unknown Origin opens at a remote crossroads, where the speaker considers the intersection of history, beauty, and destruction: "the past / is paper / and the present, a match . . ." What follows is an urgent tour of landscapes-environmental, political, and personal-that reframes our perception of modern America and leads the reader into "An empire of rags and photons" where we must look to the past to clarify our futures. With sublime wit and a Whitmanian eye, McGrath delivers a stunning collection of warnings, love letters, and praise songs for all that manages to weather the perennial pressures of time: frog ponds, stadium rubble, and the endless cycle of seasons, which usher us deeper into an era we cannot yet know. …
