About this title

Synopsis

A chapbook of horse-themed poems by James Wright

A selection of twenty-six horse-themed poems by the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet James Wright. This series of poems captures the horse as a muilt-facted symbol across Wright's illustrious career: one of calm, strength, and camaraderie, but also loneliness, violence, and the great emptiness at the edge of a dying Midwestern town. This selection is a window to see anew, or for the first time, the work of an American master.

About the Author

James Wright was born in Martins Ferry, Ohio, in 1927. He was well known for his translations of such Spanish poets as Pablo Neruda and C�sar Vallejo and for his poems about the Midwest. He received the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1972 for his Collected Poems. Other books of his published by Wesleyan are Saint Judas, Shall We Gather at the River, and Above the River: The Complete Poems (co published with Farrar, Straus and Giroux). His first book, The Green Wall was awarded the Yale Younger Poets Prize. James Wright died on March 26, 1980, at the age of 52.
