Don't touch it here, and don't touch it there. Don't touch it, in fact, anywhere-Let it dangle and hold us hard, let it flash and swing.-from "Scar Tissue"Over the course of his work-more than twenty books in total-Charles Wright has built "one of the truly distinctive bodies of poetry created in the second half of the twentieth century" (David Young, Contemporary Poets). Oblivion Banjo, a capacious new selection spanning his decades-long career, showcases the central themes of Wright's poetry: "language, landscape, and the idea of God." No matter the precise subject of each poem, on display here is a vast and rich interior life, a mind wrestling with the tenuous relationship between the ways we describe the world and its reality.The recipient of almost every honor in poetry-the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the Bollingen Prize, to name a few-and a former poet laureate of the United States, Wright is an essential voice in American letters. Oblivion Banjo is the perfect distillation of his inimitable career-for devout fans and newcomers alike.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 222mmItem Length: 144mmItem Width: 38mmItem Weight: 838gAuthor: Charles WrightGenre: Children's BooksTopic: Baby & Picture BooksRelease Year: 2020 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
