Deepstep Come Shining

C. D. Wright

In her tenth book, this critically acclaimed poet offers haunting, elegant poetry which merges the mysteries of formal and linguistic experiment with traditional narrative. Whether read as individual poems, or as a larger suite, "Deepstep Come Shining" is a sensuous, Southern Gothic road trip filled with vernacular speech and startling imagery.
