kdawn999's review against another edition
5.0
"Illustrious and unknown / is what we should wish for ourselves,
Fading the way this landscape fades
Into its anonymity / and various selves,
So undefinable, so dumb."
"We are our final vocabulary, / and how we use it.
There is no secret contingency.
There's only the rearrangement, the redescription
Of little and mortal things."

A collection truly grounded in place. While knowing that these poems were written decades ago, they also feel as if pulled from another time and I can't help but feel the pull of those years as Wright describes the fluff of a cloud or the caress of a breeze.
