Guest of Time

By Greg McBride

This is a powerful collection filled with poems of love, loss, and war that really come to life. Driven by a "longing . . . for my own past self," McBride goes deep into the heart of human experience, playing off his exact and precise use of language against the unreliability of memory. From the comic sexiness of "The Dance" to the gut-wrenching poems that come out of his time in the Vietnam War ("The Operating Room" is hard to forget), to poignant poems of family life and marriage, this book gives us a fierce elegiac music that will resonate in readers' minds long after they've stopped reading.
