Summary: Dark Midwestern Beauty
Review: James Wright is a modern American master who wrote poems that are accessible yet transcendent. His works are centered in the Midwest of his birth, yet they resonate like the Chinese lyrics of Tu Fu and Li Po. This is book in which he truly found his own voice.
