Early Rising

Warm ideas are clearly and beautifully present in this first collection of Wright’s poetry, a collection marked by its great variety in form and subject. These poems can be demanding or deceptively simple. The most important aspect of Wright’s poetry is the revelation of a man of compassion, a man who can feel and transmit that feeling to the reader.
