<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>An ant to the stars<br />or stars to the ant--which is<br />more irrelevant?</p><p>Weekend Jet Skiers--<br />rude to call them idiots, <br />yes, but facts are facts.</p><p>Clamor of seabirds<br />as the sun falls--I look up<br />and ten years have passed.<br />--from Dawn Notebook</p><p>Such is the expansive terrain of <em>Seven Notebooks</em>: the world as it is seen, known, imagined, and dreamed; our lives as they are felt, thought, desired, and lived. Written in forms that range from haiku to prose, and in a voice that veers from incanta-tory to deadpan, these seven poetic sequences offer diverse reflections on language and poetry, time and consciousness, civilization and art--to say nothing of bureaucrats, surfboards, and blue margaritas. Taken collectively, <em>Seven Notebooks</em> composes a season-by-season account of a year in the life of its narrator, from spring in Chicago to summer at the Jersey Shore to winter in Miami Beach. Not a novel in verse, not a poetic journal, but a lyric chronicle, this utterly unique book reclaims territory long abandoned by American poetry, a characteristic ambition of Campbell McGrath, one of the most honored, accessible, and humanistically engaged writers of our time.</p>
