Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. Stated "First Edition, 98765432" number line, 65pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Near Fine condition; erstwhile remainder has tiny red Random House stamped on tail text block. "In a long appreciation of Charles Wright's work published in The New Yorker in 1979, Helen Vendler remarked that his poems 'cluster, aggregate, radiate, add layers like pearls.' The poems in THE SOUTHERN CROSS, Wright's fifth collection, are vivid perceptions of the physical world, the world of the poet's life in Tennessee, Montana, California and the luminous, mythic Italy that reappears throughout the poems. It has been said that Charles Wright is creating the most beautiful poetry now being written in America. The elegance and precision of his work are matched by the subtlety with which it absorbs the past: the poet's sense of self finally becomes the poem itself. The result is a new way of speaking that is wholly Wright's own, and intoxicating as pure sound, hypnotic as image and movement and disturbing in its elegiac power. His poetry bears powerful witness to man's tragic dialogue with the world around him." [jacket copy] "Charles Wright is a superb lyric poet."--Peter Stitt, Georgia Review. "His mix of serious, self-ironic, high-brow/low-brow, Whitmanesque inclusiveness and Dickinsonian vision and wit is a marvel. Like no other voice, his has continually found ways to take the whole range of linguistic possibilities in and create something utterly distinct. Charles Wright has written some of the most beautiful and moving poems searching for spiritual sustenance where one wouldn't expect to find it--the via negativa mapped out along the dim starlight and dust of the real world. . . Probably his most famous poem is the remarkable, eerie 'Homage to Paul Cezanne,' from THE SOUTHERN CROSS. . . Charles' poems are gorgeous, unsettling, reassuring in their exact requirements of truth, and they remind us of what we didn't know we knew and where we didn't know we came from. . ."--Debra Nystrom. Near Fine remaindered hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a Very Good intact jacket, somewhat aged/sun-lightened along the spine, o/w unmarked.
