description: Collects the finest critical writing on one of the masters of American poetryJames Wright: The Heart of the Light collects the finest critical writing on one of the masters of contemporary American poetry. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1972, James Wright was described in The New York Times Book Review as "a national treasure." This volume traces the evolution of Wright's critical reception, from W. H. Auden's foreword to The Green Wall to recent essays on This Journey, published after Wright's death. The volume opens with a new critical and biographical essay by Peter Stitt, Wright's authorized biographer.
