C.D. Wright’s thirteenth collection, Rising, Falling, Hovering, reminds us what poetry is for. This is poetry as white phosphorus, written with merciless love and depthless anger. –from the Griffin Prize judges’ citation

Wright is a resolutely experimental poet, funny and intemperate, and the poems in her latest volume manage an unusual alchemy–they have a raw, unfinished quality that never feels provisional. –The New Yorker
