An unexpected story and a gem of a book.
--Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
The incomparable Campbell McGrath, whom Outside magazine calls, A writer who could help save poetry from academia and get the rest of us reading it again, delivers an astounding work: Shannon, an epic poem that traces the remarkable journey of the youngest member of the Lewis and Clark expedition. The Kansas City Star praises Shannon 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.
