Item #24606 The Green Wall: Poems. James Wright.

The Green Wall: Poems.

New Haven: Yale University Press, 1957. First Printing of the First Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Near Fine bright price clipped dust jacket with a touch of wear to the head of the spine. This is Wright's first book. The subjects of Wright’s The Green Wall (winner of the Yale Series of Younger Poets award, 1957), include men and women who have lost love or have been marginalized from society for such reasons as poverty and sexual orientation, and they invite the reader to step in and experience the pain of their isolation. Wright possessed the ability to reinvent his writing style at will, moving easily from stage to stage. Item #24606

Price: $450.00
