Negative Blue e-bog

Negative Blue is the culmination of the cycle that won Wright the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Critics Circle Award.Time will append us like suit coats left out overnightOn a deck chair, loose change dead weight in the right pocket,Silk handkerchief limp with dew, sleeves in a slow dance with the wind.And love will kill us--Love, and the winds from under the earth that grind us to grain-out.--from "e;Still Life with Spring and Time to Burn"e;When Charles Wright published Appalachia in 1998, it marked the completion of a nine-volume project, of which James Longenbach wrote in the Boston Review, "e;Charles Wright's trilogy of trilogies--call it 'The Appalachian Book of the Dead'--is sure to be counted among the great long poems of the century."e;The first two of those trilogies were collected in Country Music (1982) and The World of the Ten Thousand Things (1990). Here Wright adds to his third trilogy (Chickamauga [1995], Black Zodiac [1997], and Appalachia [1998]) a section of new poems that suggest new directions in the work of this sensuous, spirit-haunted poet.
