"After reading his poetry, you won't be able
to raise your arm without a new sense of the
intricate and tight net of correspondences
between muscle and bone--and the way deft language
can lead us to a fresh realization of the mysteries
that are always with us."

"These are the poems of an avid and spooked
watcher who pays radical attention to 'all
that else' made strange through violent accident,
institutional care, materialism, aging, love,
and death."
--Catherine Barnett
This updating of our previous
title, The Point Where All Things Meet,
which Tom Andrews edited in 1994, selects from
the contents of that earlier book and adds
many new essays that have appeared in the interim.
The result is a complex and generous survey
of Charles Wright's "trilogy of trilogies," the
sweeping project encompassed in the selected
volumes comprised by Country Music (1982), The
World of the Ten Thousand Things (1990),
and Negative Blue (2000).
