The Branch Will Not Break is a reflective anthology of poems which
evokes its author's upbringing in poverty-stricken Ohio during the
1930s and 1940s. Representing a radical and innovative departure
from the more conventional and nature-orientated works of his
earlier career, this collection sees James Wright embark on sudden
narrative shifts while conjuring evocative imagery full of
implication. Often, the poems begin with a description of a person
or object - after these initial verses, we find a blossoming of
imagery. This collection was the result of years of collaboration
Wright enjoyed with fellow poet Robert Bly. Economical with words,
Wright's poems are generally short but unfailing in evocation and
implication. Some of the shortest, most rhythmic works in this
collection carry shades of Eastern poetry such as Haiku. Others
declare a raw scene, image and meaning in an appealing and
deceptively simple manner.
