Full description for 1000 Black Umbrellas
Daniel McGinn is a grandfather who began writing poems when he was a child. This collection is written in a simple, yet often surreal, style. These works are rooted in the concerns of everyday life: birth and death, marriage and children, work and leisure, sickness and health, hopelessness and redemption and even the weather. He has a quiet voice. These poems are best read in the rain. "I am a long-time admirer of McGinn's work, but this book is a real eye-opener. I have never known him-or anyone else-to take such chances. There are treasures here. And there is absolute nakedness, and the healing power of love. I would be proud to see my name somewhere on this book." -Jack McCarthy, Author of Say Goodnight, Grace Notes: New and Corrected Poems . When I first met Daniel McGinn, outside a coffeehouse where I was hosting an open reading, I little imagined this shy, unassuming man would turn out to be one of the most talented poets I would ever meet. It has been with excitement, and no small bit of jealousy, that I have watched his talent grow and mature over the past fifteen years. This book shows just what I have been admiring all that time. - G. Murray Thomas author of "My Kidney Just Arrived" and "Cows on the Freeway." "There is no other poet on the planet like Daniel McGinn; his writing speaks with a skinless honesty. It is never overdressed and even its sorrows are always strangely comforting. I have waited a decade for this book to happen and I envy anyone who gets to experience McGinn's poetry for the first time. Daniel McGinn is the quiet giant of contemporary American poetry and I guarantee this book will never leave you." -Rachel McKibbens, author of Pink Elephant
