Earlier Poems by Franz Wright
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 1.7 MB
Overview: The haunting collection of poems that gathers the first four books of Pulitzer winner Franz Wright under one cover, where “fans old and new will find a feast amid famine” (Publishers Weekly), and discover how large this poet’s gift was from the start.
Nipping at the heels of his powerful God’s Silence (2006), Wright’s new book reexamines the origins of an innovative thinker and poet. Solitude, death, addiction, aging, and unseen presences ghost the pages of this collection, which highlights Wright’s earlier poems. An "old soul" wisdom is present even in the twentysomething poet in his first book, and this collection verifies Wright’s enormous talent from the get-go. Yet it also emphasizes how carefully Wright nurtured that talent into a commanding, mature poetic voice and vision. From empty streets to bus stations to reading rooms where the "other" may dwell, Wright’s earnest searches, unflinching observations, and hard-won revelations seem subtle but are potently rousing. He achieves a level of balance between the unseen and seen, the lost and found, that, like Rilke’s simultaneous sense of "stone in you and star," is masterful, to say the least. This volume is definitely one for poetry lovers.
