Campbell McGrath
Campbell McGrath’s latest poetry collection, In the Kingdom of the Sea Monkeys: Poems (Ecco, $14.99) presents the banality of American pop culture, combined with the cosmic and comical mystery lurking at its edges. Whether he’s exploring the slow decline of American cities, the flashing beauty of a smog saturated sunset, or the extra-mortal lifespan of books, McGrath writes poems deeply engaged with American popular culture and commerce. McGrath has received fellowships from the Guggenheim and MacArthur Foundations. His previous collections are Shannon, Seven Notebooks, Capitalism, American Noise, Spring Comes to Chicago, Road Atlas, Florida Poems, and Pax Atomica.
