Fiction Poetry
In Scar Tissue, the Pulitzer Prizeβwinning poet Charles Wright not only investigates the tenuous relationship between description and actualityββA thing is not an imageββbut also reaffirms the project of attempting to describe, to capture the natural world and the beings in it, although he reminds us that landscape is not his subject matter but his technique: that language was always his subjectβlanguage and βthe ghost of god.β And in the dolomites, the clouds, stars, wind, and water that populate these poems, βsomething un-ordinary persists.
