First paperback edition 2012. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Near Fine condition--very slight disturbance of back cover. Front cover features beautiful detail of Piero della Francesca's 'Madonna della Misericordia.' "Over the course of twenty collections of poems, Charles Wright has built 'one of the truly distinctive bodies of poetry created in the second half of the twentieth century.' BYE-AND-BYE, which brings together selections from Wright's more recent work--including the entirety of 'Littlefoot,' Wright's moving book-length meditation on mortality--showcases the themes and images that have defined his mature work: the true affinity between writer and subject, human and nature; the tenuous relationship between description and actuality; and the search for a truth that transcends change and death." [publisher copy] "[Wright's] images, changing with the seasons, set the musical tone for each poem, and they are conceived in a manner that never ceases to astonish. He sounds like nobody else, and he has remained faithful to insights and intuitions--of darkness as of light--less than common in contemporary America."--Helen Vendler. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine, all very fine.

�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Over the course of nineteen collections of poems, 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). Bye-and-Bye, which brings together selections from Wright's more recent work—including the entirety of Littlefoot, Wright's moving, book-length meditation on mortality—showcases the themes and images that have defined his mature work: the true affinity between writer and subject, human and nature; the tenuous relationship between description and actuality; and the search for a truth that transcends change and death. Bye-and-Bye is a wonderful introduction to the late work of one of America's finest and best-loved poets.
