Rising, Falling, Hovering

Griffin Poetry Prize, International (2009)

C.D. Wright

Griffin Poetry Prize, 2009 International Winner

C.D. Wright, one of America's most compelling and idiosyncratic poets, has over several decades developed an unmistakable voice and penetrating vision. As Publishers Weekly noted in a starred review of her last collection, "Wright gets better with each book, expanding the reach of her art; it seems it could take in anything."

Deeply personal and politically ferocious, Rising, Falling, Hovering addresses, as Wright has said elsewhere, "the commonly felt crises of [our] times"— from illegal immigration and the specific consequences of empire to the challenges of parenting and the honesty required of human relationships.
