Editorial Reviews

An epic-style autobiographical poem which McGrath, a Rhodes scholar who was blacklisted during the McCarthy era, took 30 years to write. It was previously published in four parts (the first in 1963), all of which contained errors which the late poet intended to correct in a definitive edition. Working from McGrath's archival notes, his longtime colleague Dale Jacobson has prepared an authoritative text of the whole poem. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
