An Evening with
CAMPBELL MCGRATH
Saturday, April 6th, 7pm
Books & Books, Coral Gables
April is Poetry Month and the celebration continues with a major new collection from one of Miami’s best loved, most celebrated, and most original poets!
Deeply personal but also expansive in its imaginative scope, Nouns & Verbs (Ecco, $24.99) brings together thirty-five years of writing from one of America’s most highly lauded poets. Offering a hint of where he’s headed while charting the territory already explored, McGrath gives us startlingly inventive new poems while surveying his previous work.
Nothing is too large or small to remain untouched by McGrath’s voracious intellect and deep empathy—everything from Japanese eggplant to a can of Schaefer beer to the smokestacks of Chicago comes in for a close and perceptive look even as McGrath crosses borders and boundaries, investigating the enduring human experiences of love and loss.
A book that stands on its own solid foundation, Nouns & Verbs captures the voice and vision of a truly singular poet.
