In terza rima meditations, rock-and-roll elegies, and abecedarian lyrics, \u003cem\u003ePax Atomica\u003c\/em\u003e documents the tangled romance between self and society (in which \/ the melody's ampersand ensnares us) in ways both new and familiar to readers of McGrath's five previous volumes. A continuation as well as a departure for one of America's most highly honored poets, this is poetry of formal eloquence and rhetorical power, of vision and engagement. \u003cem\u003ePax Atomica\u003c\/em\u003edescends into the maelstrom of American culture and emerges singing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Campbell McGrath\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ecco Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/29\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.08w x 0.24d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060758042\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMcGrath, Campbell:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCampbell McGrath is the author of nine previous books, eight of them available from Ecco Press.
