Franz Wright lives in Waltham, Massachusetts. Franz Wright (March 18, 1953 - May 14, 2015) was an American poet. He and his father James Wright are the only parent/child pair to have won the Pulitzer Prize in the same category. His collection of poems entitled, Walking to Martha's Vineyard, won him mehr anzeigen a Pulitzer Prize in 2004. Wright was born in Vienna, Austria. He graduated from Oberlin College in 1977. In 1996, Wright won the PEN/Voelcker Award for Poetry. Wright died of cancer at his home in Waltham, Massachusetts, in May 2015. Deborah Garrison, his longtime editor at Knopf, told the Los Angeles Times: "Franz wrote fearlessly about mental illness, addiction and loneliness as well as about faith and the unending beauty of his world, no matter how broken; he never wrote a line that wasn't fiercely important to him, musical, as witty as it was deadly serious."
