Writing in the poetic tradition of Walt Whitman, McGrath captivates with ironic romanticism as he lyrically explores the banality of the everyday--from the decay and transformation of the nation's cities to \"Shopping for Pomegranates at Wal-Mart on New Year's Day\"--in poems that entreat us to love what endures amid the detritus of American pop culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the MacArthur genius grant and Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award winner Campbell McGrath, an electric new collection of poetry that asks us to love what lasts amid the detritus of American culture \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter nearly a decade, \u003cem\u003eIn the Kingdom of the Sea Monkeys\u003c\/em\u003e marks a return for Campbell McGrath to the poetic forms that brought him national acclaim--lyrical meditations on American art and society by turns satirical, tender, and haunted by the merciless work of time.
