ShallCross by C.D. Wright (LA)

Condition: new
Copper Canyon Press, 2016

In ShallCross, C.D. Wright brings together brief, striking poems in tandem with the longer, unrelenting forms for which she became recognized and beloved. Pushing the boundaries of genre,  language, and poetic populism, ShallCross showcases Wright’s singular voice that navigates a rigorous space between journalistic activism, stunning narrative, sociopolitical outrage, and erotic lyricism. This dazzling collection is further evidence that Wright was among our most thrilling and innovative contemporary poets.
