Oblivion Banjo, a capacious new selection spanning his decades-long career, showcases the central themes of Wright's poetry: \"language, landscape, and the idea of God.\" No matter the precise subject of each poem, on display here is a vast and rich interior life, a mind wrestling with the tenuous relationship between the ways we describe the world and its reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe recipient of almost every honor in poetry-the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the Bollingen Prize, to name a few-and a former poet laureate of the United States, Wright is an essential voice in American letters. Oblivion Banjo is the perfect distillation of his inimitable career-for devout fans and newcomers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus \u0026 Giroux Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49810008834296,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":99.85,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9780374539085-1.jpg?v=1783592046","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9780374539085","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
