There Now: Poems - Softcover

“Eamon Grennan’s poems sparkle in There Now.”―Vanity Fair

“[Eamon Grennan] brings poetry to every part of life: bird, leaf, tree, lake. . . . It’s verbal photography on every page, with the lilt of language creating a gold standard in the description of living things.”―Washington Independent Review of Books

“[There Now] bursts with a fullness of life as [Grennan] delights in observing landscapes, art, and all things ornithological.”―Publishers Weekly

“The poems’ probing observation and striving toward timelessness invoke the shimmering stillness of a painting. . . . There is always so much there in these poems, namely, the ongoing richness of a world full of significance if hardly of transparency, a richness that, as the title implies, both comforts and exhilarates.”―Booklist

“Grennan’s densely textured poetry of detail sharpens our perceptions as he teaches us to behold the world with the tender eyes of those who worship life’s beauty. . . . A brilliant celebration of the details of the natural world. . . . These are poems that both educate and delight.”―Sonja James, The Journal

“Grennan’s style [in There Now] is so distinctively textured, one perception following another, that readers will feel as if they are at his shoulder. . . . [There is] the clear sense that the process itself, the act of writing, opens the world in intimate, surprising, and revealing ways.”―The Irish Times

“Few poets are as generous as Eamon Grennan in the sheer volume of delight his poems convey.”―Billy Collins
