WINDWARD
"For
those who can love - all at once - the words of Homer, of Sappho, of English
renaissance verse and of Shakespeare, of Cavafy, of Seferis, of some anonymous woman whose singing of
unrequited love is accidentally overheard by a passerby in some remote Greek
village, the poetry of Kevin McGrath will bring unforgettable delight to both
the heart and the mind.” ~ Gregory Nagy Francis Jones Professor of
Classical Greek Literature and Professor of Comparative Literature and Director
of the Center for Hellenic Studies at Harvard University “Kevin
McGrath is a rare poet of penetrating vision, attentive always to the ebb and
flow of life, to beginnings, turnings, and endings, to the meeting places of
sea and land, shore and horizon, to the thin and translucent places where light
shines through the worlds of nature. His words bring love and light to days and
nights, seasons and years, birth and death.” ~ Diana Eck Professor of Comparative Religion and Indian Studies,
Master of Lowell House, and Director of the Pluralism Project at Harvard University |
