Description:
A 1999 MacArthur Fellow, Campbell McGrath charts the poetics of place and everyday experience in this collection of startling verse. With a careful mix of image and narrative, McGrath ranges from the landscapes of Brazil to the streets of Las Vegas and the breezes of Miami Beach. But this is verse with a brain as well as a heart (not to mention a sense of humor), daring to offer everything from a cultural critique of Jimmy Buffet to a discussion of cartoon epistemology with a skeptical child.
Expand description
Road Atlas stretches the contemporary poem until it contains within its borders travel writing and flash fiction, along with the lyric meditations we expect from verse. Personal, provocative, accessible, this is the finest work yet from one of the most distinctive and highly lauded American poets.
