Fiction Poetry
Almost thirty years ago, Charles Wright (who teaches at the
University of Virginia in Charlottesville and has won both
the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award for Poetry)
began a poetic project of astonishing scope—a series of
three trilogies. The first trilogy was collected in
Country Music, the second in The World of the Ten
Thousand Things, and the third began with
Chickamauga and continued with Black Zodiac.
Appalachia is the last book in the final trilogy of
this pathbreaking and majestic series. If Country
Music traced "Wright's journey from the soil to the
stars" and The World of the Ten Thousand Things
"lovingly detailed" our world and made "a visionary map of
the world beyond" (James Longenbach, The Nation),
this final book in Wright's great work reveals a master's
confrontation with his own mortality and his stunning
ability to discover transcendence in the most beautifully
ordinary of landscapes.
