<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This important book--shot through with reflections on, explorations of, and hymns to both our natural and spiritual realms--features the three poetry collections Charles Wright published during the 1980s: <i>The Southern Cross</i> (1981), <i>The Other Side of the River</i> (1984), and <i>Zone Journals</i> (1988).</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Since the early 1980s, Wright has increasingly abandoned short lyrics for journal poems that weave diverse thematic threads into a single autobiographical fabric. . . . [He] is at liberty to spin out extended meditations that pick up, work with, lay aside, and return again to landscapes, historical events, and ideas. . . . Wright's gift for verbal music, his ability to evoke sensory experience and a boldness of metaphorical reference get the juices flowing. . . . [<i>The World of the Ten Thousand Things</i> is] a single poetic sequence worthy of comparison with such extended works as "The Bridge" by Hart Crane, "The Far Field" by Theodore Roethke, and "Dream Songs" by John Berryman. . . . [Wright is] a poet of great purity and originality." --<i>Richard Tillinghast, The New York Times Book Review</i></p><p>"There is no poet of his generation whose career has unfolded with such genuine authority as Charles Wright's, or whom I read with more astonishment and gratitude. There is no book published this year I could recommend more highly." --<i>J.D. McClatchy, Poetry</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Charles Wright</b>, winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award, the National Book Award, and the Griffin Poetry Prize, teaches at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.</p>
