This timeless poem is defining work of Thomas McGrath, one of the most important American poets of the twentieth century
Thomas McGrath's masterwork was the labour of over three decades, and is widely considered a seminal piece of twentieth century American literature.
Letter to an American Friend is a narrative epic in four parts, both deeply personal and grandly ambitious. The poem takes in a whole continent and its people and history. McGrath merges the mythological and material in compelling and elegant lines that run visionary while remaining tactile and grounded.

Thomas McGrath was born on a North Dakota farm in 1916. He attended the University of North Dakota and Louisiana State University and was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University. During World War II he served in the Air Force, and he was blacklisted for his political convictions during the McCarthy era. He worked as a documentary film scriptwriter and was the founder and first editor of the literary magazine Crazyhorse. McGrath received fellowships from the Bush Foundation, the Guggenheim Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts, as well as a Shelley Memorial Award. He died in 1990.
