false <![CDATA[Rising, Falling, Hovering]]> 2868121 2 C.D. Wright is one of America's leading poets, an artist of idiosyncratic vision who demands ever more from words and poems. As Dave Eggers wrote in The New York Times, "C.D. Wright has been writing some of the greatest poetry-cum-prose you can find in American literature."Rising, Falling, Hovering is a work of profound social, political, and cultural consequence, a collection that uses experimental forms to climb within the unrest teeming around the world and inside the individual. "We are running on Aztec time," she writes, "fifth and final cycle."In short lyrics and long sequences, Wright's language is ever-sharpened with political ferocity as she overlays voices from the United States, Oaxaca, Baghdad, and the borderlands between nations, to reveal the human struggle for connection and justice during times of upheaval and grief.If a body makes 1 centavo per chile picked or 5 cents for 50 chiles can Wal-Mex get it down to 3 cents. Pass the savings on to US. Will they open a Supercenter in Falluja once it is pacified. Once the corpses in the garden have decomposed. Once the wild dogs have finished off the bones. Does the war never end. Is this the war of all against all. Who will build the great wall between us, the illegals, the vigilantes, the evangelicals. . .C.D. Wright, author of twelve collections of poetry and prose, is a professor of English at Brown University and received a MacArthur Fellowship in 2005. She lives outside Providence, Rhode Island. 2894276 1 4 2008 Rising, Falling, Hovering total:69|5:32|4:26|3:9|2:2|1:0| 69 295 135 18 4 2 false false Mon Jul 21 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 21 17:01:36 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 21 17:27:05 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Mar 09 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 01 01:07:14 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 09 01:21:53 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Thu Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Mar 26 08:05:54 -0700 2008 Wed Mar 26 08:11:02 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Jun 02 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 05 15:55:53 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 05 16:26:49 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Fri Dec 12 10:37:12 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 12 10:40:49 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 25 07:26:10 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 25 07:30:43 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 0 false false Tue May 12 20:34:17 -0700 2009 Tue May 19 12:12:31 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jan 08 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 09:54:04 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 09:55:12 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Mon Feb 02 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 02 10:24:39 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 02 10:26:13 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jun 10 08:19:53 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 15:04:59 -0700 2009
