All the Pretty Lights is a revelation, a book of poems which speaks to many worlds while finding a common ground for all. Here Gerry McGrath's poems manage to balance, often on a knife-edge, between the typical and the weird, the domestic and the otherworldly, the ordinary and the metaphysical. All the Pretty Lights does what the best poetry is supposed to do: it enlarges the reader's universe, and helps us find answers to the eternal mysteries of being human. This is a book with a poetic voice that sings, even at its most discordant
