Poems of absolute nakedness that chase the power of love, Daniel McGinn is one of the most admired poets in the underground American poetry scene. These works are rooted in the overwhelming minutiae of everyday life: birth and death, marriage and children, work and leisure, sickness and health, hopelessness and redemption and even the comfort of sorrow. A hometown hero in the Southern California poetry scene for over twenty years, Daniel McGinn is known for deceptively simple, meticulously crafted poems. From the mind of this shy, quiet, unassuming man comes beautiful verse, begging to be invited in from out of the rain.
