A wonderful & complex suite of poems.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
The most recent book from Jay Wright is a wondeful & complex suite of poems. His work is transparent & concrete. Transparent in that one finds that elusive character commenting on the observations of a particular place. Concrete through the profundity of his philosophical investigations. Wright delivers here one of his very best "collections". These are not separate poems, but an interlocking system of "thought experience". If you are looking for an introduction to Wright's work, I would suggest the Selected Poems, but if you are familiar with this most elegant of poets, you will love this "set".
