{"product_id":"steal-away-selected-and-new-poems","title":"Steal Away: Selected and New Poems","description":"Now in paperback, Steal Away presents C.D. Wright's best lyrics, narratives, prose poems, and odes with new \"retablos\" and a bracing vigil on incarceration. Long admired as a fearless poet writing authentically erotic verse, Wright—with her Southern accent and cinematic eye—couples strangeness with uncanny accuracy to create poems that \"offer a once-and-for-all thing, opaque and revelatory, ceaselessly burning.\"\nfrom \"Our Dust\"\nYou didn't know my weariness, error, incapacity,\nI was the poet\nof shadow work and towns with quarter-inch\nphone books, of failed\nroadside zoos. The poet of yard eggs and\nsharpening shops,\njobs at the weapons plant and the Maybelline\nfactory on the penitentiary road.\n\n\"Wright has found a way to wed fragments of an iconic America to a luminously strange idiom, eerie as a tin whistle.\"—The New Yorker\n\"Wright shrinks back from nothing.\"—Voice Literary Supplement\n\"C.D. Wright is a devastating visionary. She writes in light. She sets language on fire.\"—American Letters\nC.D. Wright has published nine collections of poetry and earned many awards, including the Lannan Literary Award and a Guggenheim Fellowship. She teaches at Brown University and in 1994 was named State Poet of Rhode Island. With her husband, Forrest Gander, she edits Lost Roads Publishers.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1556591942\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1556591942.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Wright, C.D.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
