Short History of the Shadow

"...Wright fetches the reader's attention with compelling aphorisms, with phrases arranged to create a subtle, alluring music...There is evidence of wit everywhere in this volume, more so than before. Wright sounds immensely self-confident and authoritative and can say anything....His poems, like all good poetry, embody their meanings well before they are available for rational understanding, and they are only understood in a full way over time, in the context of his previous work, and, indeed, the work to come."Wright, Charles is the author of 'Short History of the Shadow', published 2002 under ISBN 9780374263027 and ISBN 0374263027.
