From his Deep Image-inspired lyrics to his Whtimanesque renderings of Neruda, Vallejo, and other Latin American poets, and from his heartfelt reflections on life, love, and loss in his native Ohio to the celebrated prose poems (set frequently in Italy) that marked the end of his important career, \u003ci\u003eAbove the River\u003c\/i\u003e gathers the complete work of a modern master. It also features a moving and insightful introduction by Donald Hall, Wright's longtime friend and colleague.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoetry collections by \u003cb\u003eJames Wright\u003c\/b\u003e include \u003ci\u003eThe Green Wall \u003c\/i\u003e(1957), which won the Yale Series of Younger Poets award, \u003ci\u003eSaint Judas\u003c\/i\u003e (1959), \u003ci\u003eThe Branch Will Not Break\u003c\/i\u003e (1963), \u003ci\u003eShall We Gather at the River\u003c\/i\u003e (1968), and \u003ci\u003eTwo Citizens\u003c\/i\u003e (1973).
