Speaking in the unique lyrical voice that he called his Ohioan, Wright created poems of immense sympathy for sociey's alienated and outcast figures and also of ardent wonder at the restorative power of nature. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSelected Poems\u003c\/i\u003e fills a significant gap in Wright's bibliography: that of an accessible, carefully chosen collection to satisfy both longtime readers and those just discovering his work. Edited and with an introduction by Wright's widow, Anne, and his close friend the poet Robert Bly, who also wrote an introduction, \u003ci\u003eSelected Poems\u003c\/i\u003e is a personal, deeply considered collection of work with pieces chosen from all of Wright's books. It is an overdue--and timely--new view of a poet whose life and work encompassed the extremes of American life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Arlington Wright\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0374529027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374529024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Strauss \u0026amp; Giroux-3pl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.22h x 5.58w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker (The)\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/08\/2005 pg. 89","brand":"James Arlington Wright","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993954746623,"sku":"9780374529024","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ddec1bad-f792-495c-a643-263196baabfb.jpg?v=1683327264","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/selected-poems-james-wright-9780374529024","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
