Parados

An inventive new collection from a master of form and thought

In Párodos, Jay Wright returns with a collection of poems that challenge through their density and reward with their inherent music. With a polyglot vocabulary and a restless spirit, Wright navigates the landscapes of memory, history, and philosophy. "The soul now must have a feel for the string," as Wright says, a Pythagorean sentiment that echoes throughout this intricate collection and the entire body of his work. These poems offer a singular testament from one of our most important poets.
