Franz Wright's genius is a work in progress...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Like most poets, Franz Wright's fame and notoriety have been hard won. He is the son of a Pulitzer prize winner, yet stands entirely on his own merit and his legend is well deserved. This book is a collection of his earlier writings, some of which would be difficult if not impossible to find were they not collected here. So, for that I am very appreciative. One of the joys of this book is it allows the reader a peak into the mind of a young genius and blossoming poet. Wright's style and voice were still developing when these poems were originally written. I prefer his newer poems, but these are still tiny treasures not to be missed.
