The first selected poems of a major poet who "wrote with more heart
than any other North American poet of the twentieth century"
(Rodney Jones, "Parnassus")
More than any other poet of his generation, James Wright spoke to
the great sadness and hope that are inextricable from the
iconography of America: its rail yards, rivers, cities, and once
vast natural beauty. Speaking in the unique lyrical voice that he
called his "Ohioan," Wright created poems of immense sympathy for
sociey's alienated and outcast figures and also of ardent wonder at
the restorative power of nature.
"Selected Poems" fills a significant gap in Wright's bibliography:
that of an accessible, carefully chosen collection to satisfy both
longtime readers and those just discovering his work. Edited and
with an introduction by Wright's widow, Anne, and his close friend
the poet Robert Bly, who also wrote an introduction, "Selected
Poems" is a personal, deeply considered collection of work with
pieces chosen from all of Wright's books. It is an overdue--and
timely--new view of a poet whose life and work encompassed the
extremes of American life.
