In this week’s New Yorker: Campbell McGrath

January 5, 2010

For exhibit 19-A supporting my forthcoming treatise “Pleasure, Anesthesia, and the Burden of Consciousness,” see Campbell McGrath’s poem “Shopping for Pomegranates at Wal-Mart on New Year’s Day” in this week’s New Yorker. I especially enjoyed his description of television as “pixillated spirit glass.” And the mood he describes as “robed in sweat and melancholy” — been there! Read the whole poem here.
