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.

In the Psalms, God speaks directly to our deepest experiences:
despair, abandonment, fear, anxiety, hope, love, faith, eternal
life, and more. My hope is that these paraphrases of Psalms in
conversational form will deepen your faith, love and service to our
wonderful God of life.
