His third collection, Grain, makes his singular talent available to a wider audience. Sometimes Glenday's poems are forcefully direct; sometimes they are so quiet they feel as if they were composed within a capacious listening, as a form of secular prayer. Glenday's seamless lyric can also disguise some wild and surreal tales: the Beauty and the Beast told in reverse, a bizarre list of new saints, or a can of peaches waiting for the invention of the tin-opener. However, the lasting impression is of a genuinely spiritual poet, one with the ability to turn every earthly detail towards the same clear light. Grain announces Glenday as an essential voice in contemporary poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737344409888,"sku":"NEW0330461346","price":18.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81UQWWfOvQL.jpg?v=1779559517","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/grain-picador-poetry-0330461346","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
