Description: Quarter Notes harvests recent reviews, essays, memoirs, and interviews by acclaimed poet Charles Wright. Wright uses creative variations on the form of the linear essay including interviews with himself as interviewee, correspondence (with Charles Simic), and experimentation with what he calls Improvisations, "nonlinear associational storylines." The book's short, staccato-like bursts add up to much more than the sum of their parts.
