Publisher Description: Honored in Best Books of the Year listings from The New Yorker, National Public Radio, Library Journal, and The Huffington Post. One With Others represents Wright's most audacious experiment yet.--The New Yorker A] book . . . that defies description and discovers a powerful mode of its own.-- National Public Radio A] searing dissection of hate crimes and their malignant legacy.--Booklist Today, Gentle Reader, In this National Book Award finalist and National Book Critics Circle Award finalist, C.D. Wright returns to her native Arkansas and examines explosive incidents grounded in the Civil Rights Movement. In her signature style, Wright interweaves oral histories, hymns, lists, interviews, newspaper accounts, and personal memories--especially those of her incandescent mentor, Mrs. Vittitow--with the voices of witnesses, neighbors, police, and activists. This history leaps howling off the page. C.D. Wright has published over a dozen works of poetry and prose. Among her honors are the Griffin Poetry Prize and a MacArthur Fellowship. She teaches at Brown University and lives outside of Providence, Rhode Island. |
