Synopsis
Capitalism and American Noiseintroduced readers to the musical, comedic, and impassioned voice of poet Campbell McGrath. Now, in Spring Comes to Chicago, McGrath pushes deeper into the jungle of American culture, exposing and celebrating our native hungers and dreams. In the centerpiece of the book, "The Bob Hope Poem," McGrath confronts the paradoxes that energize and confound us--examining his own avid affection for People magazine and contemplating such diverse subjects as Wittgenstein, meat packers, money, and, of course, Bob Hope himself. Whether viewing this life with existential gravity or consumerist glee, McGarth creates poetry that is at once public and profoundly personal.

Review
""Capitalism" is a sprawling, chest-thumping, yet tender take on America. Whitman, Sandburg, and Ginsburg are its fathers." -- "Detroit Free Press""'Make a joyful noise, ' the Psalms urgeus, and Campbell McGarth does just that in "American Noise...." Like a settler, he stakes his claim, and it is a large one. What a pleasure to walk this land with him."-- Cynthia MacDonald"Veering between ecstasy and apocalypse, "[American Noise]" asserts [McGarth's] place among American poetry's grand-gesturing celebrants.... Young though he is... he understands the patience and care it takes 'to suspend the body of our dreams from poetry's slender reed.'"-- "New York Times Book Review"
