Country Music: Selected Early Poems (Wesleyan Poetry Series)
- Used Book in Good Condition
Co-winner of the 1983 National Book Award for Poetry, Country Music is comprised of eighty-eight poems selected from Charles Wrightâ€™s first four books published between 1970 and 1977. From his first book, The Grave of the Right Hand, to the extraordinary China Trace, this selection of early works represents â€œCharles Wrightâ€™s grand passions: his desire to reclaim and redeem a personal past, to make a reckoning with his present, and to conjure the terms by which we might face the future,â€ writes David St. John in the forward. These poems, powerful and moving in their own right, lend richness and insight to Wrightâ€™s recently collected later works. â€œIn Country Music we see the same explosive imagery, the same dismantled and concentric (or parallel) narratives, the same resolutely spiritual concerns that have become so familiar to us in Wrightâ€™s more recent poetry,â€ writes St. John.
