God's Silence,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In this luminous new collection of poems, Franz Wright expands on the spiritual joy he found in his Pulitzer Prizewinning Walking to Marthas Vineyard. Wright, whom we know as a poet of exquisite miniatures, opens Gods Silence with East Boston, 1996, a powerful long poem that looks back at the darker moments in the formation of his sensibility. He shares his private rules for bus riding (No eye contact: the eyes of the terrified / terrify), and recalls, among other experiences, his first encounter with a shotgun, as an eightyearold boy (In a clearing in the cornstalks . . . it was suggested / that I fire / on that muttering family of crows). Throughout this volume, Wright continues his penetrating study of his own and our collective soul. He reaches a new level of acceptance as he intones the paradox I have heard Gods silence like the sun, and marvels at our presumptions:We speak of Heaven who have not yet accomplishedeven this, the holiness of thingsprecisely as they are, and never will!Though Wright often seeks forgiveness in these poems, his black wit and selfdeprecation are reliably present, and he delights in reminding us that literature will lose, sunlight will win, dont worry.But in this book, literature wins as well. Gods Silence is a deeply felt celebration of what poetry (and its silences) can do for us.
