          ~ Campbell McGrath, American Noise (Ecco Press 1993)

 

          I absolutely loved this book—this poem, an untitled prologue type of poem, in particular.  He’s got that Whitman flair I wish I had.  Oh well, maybe in another writing life.

Poem of the Week, Feb. 16-22

          ~Campbell McGrath, Pax Atomica (Harper Collins, 2004)

 

Originally, I bought this book as a gift for my cousin Armand (http://sonicreducer.net/ & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zNOhPPMmmQ). Armand’s a real crazy rock n’ roll juggernaut type, and I was right to assume that he and this book had a lot in common.  I have since purchased it for my brothers (http://joshmossotti.com/ & http://matthewmossotti.com/#), which is only going a long way to say that the book makes a great all around stocking stuffer.
