Over the course of nineteen collections of poems, Charles Wright
has built "one of the truly distinctive bodies of poetry created in
the second half of the twentieth century" (David Young,
"Contemporary Poets"). "Bye-and-Bye," which brings together
selections from Wright's more recent work--including the entirety
of "Littlefoot," Wright's moving, book-length meditation on
mortality--showcases the themes and images that have defined his
mature work: the true affinity between writer and subject, human
and nature; the tenuous relationship between description and
actuality; and the search for a truth that transcends change and
death. "Bye-and-Bye "is a wonderful introduction to the late work
of one of America's finest and best-loved poets.
This newest volume in a long-running work of mapping the sources of
Anglo-Saxon literary culture in England from 500 to 1100 CE takes
up one of the most important authors of the period, the
eighth-century monk-scholar known as the Venerable Bede. Bede is
best known as the author of the Historia ecclesiastica gentis
Anglorum, which is one of the key sources for our historical and
cultural knowledge of the period; this collection covers that and
more, drawing on manuscript evidence, medieval library catalogues,
Anglo-Latin and Old English versions, citations, quotations, and
more, putting Bede and his work in the context of his period.

The selected works of one of our finest American poets The thread
that dangles us between a dark and a darker dark, Is luminous,
sure, but smooth sided. Don't touch it here, and don't touch it
there. Don't touch it, in fact, anywhere-- Let it dangle and hold
us hard, let it flash and swing. --from "Scar Tissue" Over the
course of his work--more than twenty books in total--Charles Wright
has built "one of the truly distinctive bodies of poetry created in
the second half of the twentieth century" (David Young,
Contemporary Poets). Oblivion Banjo, a capacious new selection
spanning his decades-long career, showcases the central themes of
Wright's poetry: "language, landscape, and the idea of God." No
matter the precise subject of each poem, on display here is a vast
and rich interior life, a mind wrestling with the tenuous
relationship between the ways we describe the world and its
reality. The recipient of almost every honor in poetry--the
Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the Bollingen Prize,
to name a few--and a former poet laureate of the United States,
Wright is an essential voice in American letters. Oblivion Banjo is
the perfect distillation of his inimitable career--for devout fans
and newcomers alike.
