Spanning four decades of writing--and including never-before-seen poems--The Essential C.D. Wright carries the reverence and wisecracking lyricism of poems that reshaped American poetry.The Essential C.D. Wright gathers rare selections across the famed poet's entire oeuvre--from the first book, Alla Breve Loving (1976), through to ShallCross, which was in production at the time of her unexpected death in 2016. Tracing a writing life that spans more than four decades, this essential collection illuminates works that remain empowered by an unrelenting independence, a reverence for mentors, and wry, wisecracking lyricism. A formally restless, energetic, uncompromising, and utterly unique voice, C.D. Wright introduced a contemporary audience to the promise and power of docupoetics, while pushing the musical boundaries of vernacular speech and reshaping American poetry. With a moving introduction by Forrest Gander, this volume cements C.D. Wright's place in the literary canon.
