Shannon

<p>An unexpected story and a gem of a book.<br />--<em>Pittsburgh Post-Gazette<p></p></em></p> <p> </p></p><p>The incomparable Campbell McGrath whom <em>Outside </em>magazine calls A writer who could help save poetry from academia and get the rest of us reading it again delivers an astounding work: <em>Shannon </em>an epic poem that traces the remarkable journey of the youngest member of the Lewis and Clark expedition. The <em>Kansas City Star</em> praises <em>Shannon</em> as A luminescent narrative...a myth of American character before its corruption and Campbell McGrath--Poet Laureate Guggenheim Fellowship Pushcart Prize and three-time Academy of American Poets Prize winner--proves once again to be truly an everyman poet who channels the spirit of Walt Whitman in this lyrical adventure. <p></p></p>
