Recognition
“Formally elegant, thematically intelligent, urgent and thoughtful, A Change of Maps traverses the American landscape–its primal beauty and human diminishment–and explores the tensions in the nature of this country, its mix of cultures, and its losses both national and personal. In these brilliant and intuitive poems, Carolyne Wright reflects on love and independence, love and work, choices made in youth and the larger awarenesses that enable the world and the species to continue.”–Betsy Sholl
