Description
Franz Wright's new collection of poems, God's Silence, is a deeply felt exploration of the human experience. This luminous volume expands on his Pulitzer Prize-winning Walking to Martha's Vineyard, offering powerful insights into the formation of his sensibility and our collective soul. Through poems such as "East Boston, 1996", Wright shares intimate moments from his life, including encounters with unexpected experiences like a shotgun at an early age. His unique voice is marked by both vulnerability and black wit, as he seeks forgiveness and marvels at our presumptions about the world. This collection celebrates the power of poetry to illuminate our lives, even in the silences. Wright's poems are a testament to the enduring importance of literature in our lives, reminding us that "literature will lose, sunlight will win, don't worry." God's Silence is a deeply felt celebration of what poetry can do for us.
