Bøker av Michael McGriff

Poems that depict the reality of life in rural America. Angel Sharpening its Beak, Michael McGriff's fifth collection, searches for meaning at the intersection of surrealism, place, and poverty in rural America. From long sequences to dense enigmatic sketches, the poems gathered here honor the inner lives and daily encounters of those surviving, working, and seeking joy at the margins of contemporary life.

Haunted as much by place and people, landscapes and distant figures, as by the possibilities of image-making itself, Eternal Sentences is a song for the hidden depots of rural America.

WINNER OF THE 2007 AGNES LYNCH STARRETT POETRY PRIZE A book of poems that explore working-class, rural American life, in all its complication and contradiction.
