Appalachia by Wright, Charles - 1998

Gordonsville, Virginia, U. S. A.: Farrar Straus & Giroux. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1998. First Edition. Hardcover. Almost thirty years ago, Charles Wright began a poetic project of Dantean scope - a trilogy of trilogies. This book is the last of the third trilogy, the first two books being Chickamauga and continued in Black Zodiac, which won both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry. The final book in this great work shows us a master poet's confrontation with his own mortality and his stunning ability to discover transcendence in the most beautifully ordinary of landscapes. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. .
