Reviews for The Widow From Lake Bled

by Tristan Beach, Associate Editor,The Conium Review

Whether it be a Hawaiian beach or an attic in eastern Europe, each locale is rendered in precise and empathic verse. Wright's poems are wrought with such care and intelligence--testaments to his mastery of craft.

by Kristof Thibaud, Publisher, Lemon Shark Press

Each book in this collection contains its own story, thanks to lyric narrative, a sharp ear for dialogue, and a keen eye for gesture. Wright is like a sgraffito artist--he scratches at surfaces to reveal both the beauty and the agony of life.

Sample from The Widow From Lake Bled

At the Memorial Park

I bring yellow heliconia and red torch ginger.
You�re planted on a rise beside the shower tree.
Diamond Head looms in the background.
You�re too low to see the ocean.

You�re planted on a rise beside the shower tree.
Show people you love �em when they�re alive, you said.
You�re too low to see the ocean.
I was your nightmare: a law school flunk out.

Show people you love �em when they�re alive, you said.
You haunt me more than mother.
You�re too low to see the ocean.
Chan Yang and Fu Chuan Lee flank you.

I fill your vase to the brim.
Diamond Head looms in the background.
A plover lands on your marker.
I bring yellow heliconia and red torch ginger.
