The third book in the third trilogy of a trilogy of trilogies if my understanding is correct. What's great about Wright is you can dip in whenever and learn something, feel something new. This collection has his poem for Larry Levis, an outstanding poem. Good stuff.

"The Appalachian Book of the Dead" series was a diamond in the coal of this book (coal meaning deep, rich, powerful, good stuff). I love how the poems go gradually and gently through the seasons, sweeping you along like a lazy, meandering creek with no where really to go. To me, the desire to savor and enjoy the words as they arrive on the page is the mark of a truly great collection of poems.

4.5 stars. There is so much to appreciate here. Wright would easily be my favorite poet if he weren't so given over to despair.
