OverviewThese selected poems by Michael Wright are remarkable for their range of human experience. Life, within the magnitude of the cosmos, he says, is a paradox of love and destruction that he is ""neither conjoined (to) nor severed (from)."" The poems explore love and loss, faith and redemption, hope and despair, wisdom and folly, with wit, compassion and a buoyant love of language. They tender the reader a lively journey of relief from the agonies of adolescence, when the poet experiences ""the heart-lift aroma of books, old and new in the cool quiet"" of a library, to maturity, when he wakes to the blue horizon of a new day as ""the year slips away / folds its butterfly wings / and turns into a mere wisp of cloud,"" and the poet says yes to keep on keeping on.
