C.D. Wright: Steal Away — Curated Selection of Poems with Previously Unpublished Work

Description

Copper Canyon Press (paperback, 2003)

Publisher Marketing: 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.”
