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.

Beautifully rendered poems and short chapters of poetic prose combine with Pepper's chalk and oil drawings to form an intimate and unique meditation on the nature of love, of heartache, of the many midnights we, each and every one of us, live through and carry with us through our lives. The goal is not to make sense of, but art of this story, writes poet C.D. Wright in her introduction. The goal is not to make a story but to experience the whole mess. There are mental sufferings and physical sufferings to go through; to apprehend if one can. There are the spent casings of history to sift through, pick up and examine. Calm-like, hysterical, forensic. This life not just a worn passage. In the end, the light shines through Miller's midnights and the rewards of passing through the darkness with her are countless.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51864946934033,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51864947130641,"sku":"CIN0975499068VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780975499061.jpg?v=1753967796"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-cd-wright.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
