"Drawing upon twenty-five years of award-winning work, Heart of Anthracite presents a chronological gathering of the prose poetry of Campbell McGrath, the most highly-honoured American poet of his generation. Urgent, tender, incendiary, antic, these diverse and uncategorizable writings push against the limits of lyric form, seeking to enlarge the territory of poetry to include catalogues, fables, landscape sketches, travellers tales, critiques of American mass culture, testaments to the joys of fatherhood, rock and roll meditations and altar-burning iconic conflagrations."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
