I shared this with Colin but I figured I would share it with everyone. I've rediscovered my love for James Wright.

I remember reading this poem of his quite a long time ago - loved it.

The way he ends his poems so beautifully reminds me of Larkin's work, although in this case, it is the total opposite, totally optimistic.

Oddly, Gakbu, I made a similar connection after reading this with Larkin.

Precisely etched misery, turns out quite beautiful.

Anyone who doesn't study the writers who've come before,
may they stew in the fermentations of their own sonnets.

I said that.


Not Wright, but one I like:

Just because.
