Franz Wright's poetry comes alive and allows the reader to do the same. I might prefer Walking to Martha's Vineyard to F: Poems but both are truly filled with miracles.

Favorites: “Through,” “The Composer,” “Stay,” “Postcard 2,” “Lamp,” “Crumpled-up Note Blowing Away,” “Entries of the Cell,” “To,” “Peach Tree,” “Rain in Waltham,” “Nativity.”
I might have enjoyed this collection even more than Walking to Martha's Vineyard, which is saying something. The varied style (prose poems and more traditional free-verse interspersed) keeps it interesting, and Wright's use of language is second-to-none.

I am so glad I found this.
Scratch that, it found me.
Stark and heartbreaking poetry prose that’s gritty and gets under your skin.
Poems for the weird days.
‘One day I am going to start to cry and never stop until I die. So what.’
‘I have no more idea what I look like than you do, I’m happy to say; all of that is over, that business with the mirror. One winter afternoon I noticed it had stopped. I couldn’t anymore, and that was all, wish I’d thought of it sooner.’
