Reviews

[Wrights] hard-won revelations seem subtle but are potently rousing. He achieves a level of balance between the unseen and seen, the lost and found, that, like Rilkes simultaneous sense of stone in you and star, is masterful to say the least. Booklist

Wright propels his work forward with clear details, brutally forthright self-knowledge, and a sense of being lost in America familiar even to the most found of us. Chicago Tribune
