Country Music: Selected Early Poems | Charles Wright
2 posts
Co-winner of the 1983 National Book Award for Poetry, Country Music is comprised of eighty-eight poems selected from Charles Wrights first four books published between 1970 and 1977. From his first book, The Grave of the Right Hand, to the extraordinary China Trace, this selection of early works represents Charles Wrights grand passions: his desire to reclaim and redeem a personal past, to make a reckoning with his present, and to conjure the terms by which we might face the future, writes David St. John in the forward. These poems, powerful and moving in their own right, lend richness and insight to Wrights recently collected later works. In Country Music we see the same explosive imagery, the same dismantled and concentric (or parallel) narratives, the same resolutely spiritual concerns that have become so familiar to us in Wrights more recent poetry, writes St. John.

I‘ve been listening to a lot of country lately, and this has been one of my favorite songs. I love the romantic wistfulness of it. He has a lot of great modern country ballads. Plus it wins for understated album cover! 😂 #tuesdaytunes

BarbaraBB That cover is quite minimalistic indeed 😀 6mo
TieDyeDude I think Cold is my favorite from that album. I don't know if he is on country radio much, but this is the kind of modern country I like. I'll take Stapleton over Jason Aldean every time. 6mo

Megabooks @TieDyeDude same, but I like Big Green Tractor because it‘s so funny! Cold is fantastic, too. He carries such emotion in his voice. 6mo
Megabooks @BarbaraBB not many country album covers are like this! 6mo
