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 ofLittlefoot, 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-Byeis a wonderful introduction to the late work of one of America's finest and best-loved poets. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Would silence the Silence and all that,
That words were the Word,
That language could lead us inexplicably to grace,
As though it were geographical.
I used to think these things when I was young.
I still do.
I didn't care for the early sections, the winnowed caprice of Black Zodiac wasn't as present, filtered. The author's arc of memory and nature's symphony kept my attention. There was an ultimate reward.
A vision of Kafka, one who is offered soft cheese and bread and then leaves as a spring sunbeam is an arresting image. The Carter Family as memento mori. Dr. Burton would be content. Each image offers an idea or an association. Wright measures mortality in a veritable book of snow. Each step ephemeral. ( )
