Franz Wright was recognized as one of the leading poets of his generation even before he won the 2004 Pulitzer Prize. For this edition, the poet has selected from his previous collections, in some cases making substantial revisions, and has added his newest poems. The result is exciting in its breadth, consistency, depth, and distinction.
"This is a terrific book by a terrific poet. Never has any poet, anywhere, been so darkminded and at the same time so almost playful, so childlike about it all. A unique and major talent."
