XX

the long version

"XX is award-winning poet Campbell McGrath's astonishing sequence of one hundred poems--one for each year of the twentieth century--written in a vast range of forms, and in the voices of figures as varied as Picasso and Mao, Frida Kahlo and Elvis Presley. Based on years of historical research and cultural investigation, XX turns poetry into an archival inquiry and a choral documentary"--From dust jacket.
