McGrath’s most recent work, Spring Comes to Chicago, is noted for its reflective intelligence and comic ebullience. In it, as in his other work, he combines both a personal and an acute historical consciousness as he maps the social, cultural, and natural landscapes of America. His grand vision, raw energy, and keen ear for the subtleties of the modern condition, have led critics to compare him to Allen Ginsberg and William Carlos Williams. Though his work is a reflection of our age and society, McGrath has his own unique voice-an expansive prose poetry that accumulates images and metaphors through the use of symbols and tangible, everyday details. Campbell McGrath is a poet whose work is characterized by lyrical skill, intellectual breadth, and humor.
