- Synopsis
- A collection of profound and piercing poems from a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize about navigating the modern world in search of beauty that will endureFever of Unknown Origin opens at a remote crossroads, where the speaker considers the intersection of history, beauty, and destruction: &“the past / is paper / and the present, a match . . .&” What follows is an urgent tour of landscapes—environmental, political, and personal—that reframes our perception of modern America and leads the reader into &“An empire of rags and photons&” where we must look to the past to clarify our futures.With sublime wit and a Whitmanian eye, McGrath delivers a stunning collection of warnings, love letters, and praise songs for all that manages to weather the perennial pressures of time: frog ponds, stadium rubble, and the endless cycle of seasons, which usher us deeper into an era we cannot yet know.
