Sinopsis

The Branch Will Not Break is a reflective anthology of poems which evokes its author&rsquo,s upbringing in poverty-stricken Ohio during the 1930s and 1940s.Representing a radical and innovative departure from the more conventional and nature-orientated works of his earlier career, this collection sees James Wright embark on sudden narrative shifts while conjuring evocative imagery full of implication. Often, the poems begin with a description of a person or object &ndash, after these initial verses, we find a blossoming of imagery. This collection was the result of years of collaboration Wright enjoyed with fellow poet Robert Bly.Economical with words, Wright&rsquo,s poems are generally short but unfailing in evocation and implication. Some of the shortest, most rhythmic works in this collection carry shades of Eastern poetry such as Haiku. Others declare a raw scene, image and meaning in an appealing and deceptively simple manner. Readers will find pleasure in Wright&rsquo,s gifts, qualitative, intense and imbued with brevity as they often are.This collection formed a fine compliment to the Beat and New York School poetry of the 1950s and early 1960s &ndash, isolated geographically from his contemporaries, James Wright&rsquo,s ability gave significance to the Midwest, prior to this collection, modern poets mostly inhabited the east and west coasts of North America.
