Robert Wrigley

4.9/5 (9401 ratings)

Description:A powerful new collection from an acclaimed, award-winning poet With nine previously published collections of poetry, Robert Wrigley has become one of his generation's most accomplished poets, renowned for his irony, power, and lucid style and for his ability to fuse narrative and lyrical impulses. Wrigley's tenth collection, "Box," is a book of poems obsessed with human containment, with the way people are contained or confined by time, mortality, technology, identity, culture, and history in almost everything they are and everything they do. Even the body, even the poem itself, is in this regard a kind of self-containing crate, in which the human being, perhaps the human spirit, is shipped into the world at large. But"Box"is also a book obsessed with escape from containment, and escape comes from dreams, from deep awareness, from contemplation, from love, and above all, as Wallace Stevens insisted, from "the imagination pressing back against the pressure of reality." The poems in"Box"aim to do nothing less than "help people live their lives," as Stevens put it."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
