About This Item
Farrar, Straus and Giroux / A Wesleyan University Press Edition , 1990. First hardcover printing REVIEW COPY with review slip laid in and publisher's 5 by 7 photo of Wright. Wright won the 1972 Pulitzer Prize for poetry. Some faint foxing to top and fore-edge else bright and fine in a fine dust jacket with protective mylar cover. A very nice copy. "One of the most admired American poets of his generation, James Wright (1927-80) wrote contemplative, sturdy, and generous poems with an honesty, clarity, and stylistic range matched by very few--then or now. From his Deep Image-inspired lyrics to his Whtimanesque renderings of Neruda, Vallejo, and other Latin American poets, and from his heartfelt reflections on life, love, and loss in his native Ohio to the celebrated prose poems (set frequently in Italy) that marked the end of his important career, Above the River gathers the complete work of a modern master. It also features a moving and insightful introduction by Donald Hall, Wright's longtime friend and colleague." . First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine.
