C.D. Wright

Selected and New Poems

Steal Away: Selected and New Poems presents C.D. Wright's best lyrics, narratives, prose poems, and odes, along with new excerpts from her collaborative retablos series and from her newest work — a bracing vigil on prisoners and their incarceration.

Long admired as a fearless poet writing authentically erotic verse, Wright—with her Southern accent and cinematic eye—couples strangeness with uncanny accuracy. The resulting poems are hypnotic documentaries that, in her own words, "offer a once-and-for-all thing, opaque and revelatory, ceaselessly burning."
