Poetry. C.D. Wright is a fearless poet long admired for her authentically erotic verse. With a Southern accent and cinematic eye she couples strangeness with uncanny accuracy, bundling fragments of stories to create poems that are, as she describes them, "succinct novels." Wright's poems are simultaneously modern and deeply primal; they are pheromonal. Gathering work from her eight previous volumes, STEAL AWAY weaves new work with Wright's best lyrics, narratives, prose poems, and odes.
