LONG LISTED FOR THE 2021 POETRY BOOK AWARD

The second full-length title by award-winning poet and former Youth Poet Laureate of Los Angeles, Rhiannon McGavin.

If the word stanza means "room," then this book is an orchard. Former Youth Poet Laureate of Los Angeles, Rhiannon McGavin crafts poems with scraps of the everyday, from dream diaries to postcards. She integrates the facts of daily life into lyric verse, switching out traditional forms as easily as trying on new sweaters. Led by emotions "real as the mosaic air between screen and projector," McGavin explores what it means to become your own calendar.

Grocery List Poems is a refreshing collection that captures the intricate beauty and complexity of the mundane, inviting readers to reflect on the simple pleasures hidden in daily life.
