Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. The distinguished American poet, Thomas McGrath, has been courageous in more ways than one. He found himself being dismissed from teaching jobs because he dared to appear in the 1950s as an 'unfriendly witness" before the House Committee on Un-American Activities. With this book, "Death Song", McGrath bravely faced, accepted serenely, and embraced his own oncoming demise. In these poems McGrath looks death in the face and finds, not an implacable enemy, but a natural progression from one state of being to another. As it says on the book's cover, "Mcgrath celebrated life more nakedly, more enthusiastically, than any American poet since Whitman, reaffirming our interconnectedness with one another and with the natural world." This was Thomas McGrath's last book., issued posthumously after his death in September, 1990.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. This is "The Movie at the End of the World", being Collected Poems by Thomas McGrath. This copy of the book is the 1980 First Paperback Edition, issued by Swallow Press. The book is now OP, as stated on the Swallow Press website. The following is excerpted from the blurb on the rear cover : "Thomas McGrath is one of the best living American poets. His lyric and rhapsodic strengths are unequaled. His use of rhetoric and of the sonorities of poetic speech has been compared to Hart Crane and Dylan Thomas. A sense of place and of the durable influence of the land and human work is pervasive here." Said the literary critic for "Choice" : Strong, masculine poetry filled with a sense of the West. Much closer to the open - ended, free - associative poetry of major Latin American poets like Vallejo, Neruda, Salazar-Bondy, etc., than any other poet writing in the U.S. ".

Dann läuft sein Psychomat amok, aus seinem Telekommunikator dringen heisere Morddrohungen, und schließlich trifft ihn die Selbstschußanlage seines eigenen Schreibtisches. Der ?Untersucher" in einem perfekt durchkonstruierten Polizeistaat in einer nicht unmöglichen Zukunft auf amerikanischem Boden bietet seinen ganzen Scharfsinn auf, um den Urheber des offensichtlichen Komplotts gegen sich zu ergründen. Ist es sein totgeglaubter Zwillingsbruder Chris? Oder sein Stellvertreter Gannell? Oder jener geheimnisvolle Vorgesetzte namens Jones, den er noch nie gesehen hat? Selbst der Riesencomputer Sibylle hilft ihm nicht weiter. Die endliche Lösung aber überrascht auch ihn, denn gerade mit dieser Möglichkeit hatte er nicht gerechnet. ordentliches Exemplar, Einband und Buchblock mit kleinen Lesespuren, Buchblock altersgemäß gebräunt, Gesamtzustand: gut * Verlag: Berlin, Weimar : Aufbau-Verlag.
