James Wright is himself a first-rate Whitman-style poet. —Harold Bloom

A poet who wrote poetry with more care than any other North American poet of the 20th century. —Rodney Jones

This collection of poems was compiled by Wright's widow Anne Wright and his close friend Robert Bly in 2005. It is the only selected version of Wright's poems so far. This anthology selects 82 works from Wright's 50-year creative career, covering the most representative and influential works of the poet in each stage; based on the two editors' profound insights into English poetry and their deep empathy for Wright's life and creative ideas, it condenses and comprehensively presents a kind and pure Wright to readers, highlighting the language light of rediscovering "this moment" and "illuminating life" in Wright's poems, aiming to reshape our intimacy with the world, and then arouse our journey to the inner soul and gain the moment of enlightenment in life.
