Excerpt from Sketches of Rural Life, and Other Poems Miller The miller's wife has lost the bees That swarmed across the water, Why couldn't they swarm in the garden trees? But now, for aught she hears or sees, They're gone for good; she's ill at ease, And calls her pretty daughter. "Forego, my friend, your fuss and fright, For as sure as you're alive You'll get your bees again all right; Those sweet young eyes, so large and bright, Will find the swarm, and so ere night You'll stock another hive."

Excerpt from Village Life and Sketches: With Other Poems The principal poem, Village Life and Sketches', is a superficial attempt to picture a few features of humble life, as well as to sketch the leading characters of note in this primitive village; glancing by the way at some of the customs and amusements of its inhabitants, as well as the sports and pastimes of country life.

Honored in "Best Books of the Year" listings from The New Yorker, National Public Radio, Library Journal, and The Huffington Post. "One With Others represents Wright's most audacious experiment yet."—The New Yorker "[A] book . . . that defies description and discovers a powerful mode of its own."— National Public Radio "[A] searing dissection of hate crimes and their malignant legacy."—Booklist Today, Gentle Reader, the sermon once again: "Segregation After Death." Showers in the a.m. The threat they say is moving from the east. The sheriff's club says Not now. Not nokindofhow. Not never. The children's minds say Never waver. Air fanned by a flock of hands in the old funeral home where the meetings were called [because Mrs. Oliver owned it free and clear], and that selfsame air, sanctified and doomed, rent with racism, and it percolates up from the soil itself . . . In this National Book Award finalist and National Book Critics Circle Award finalist, C.D. Wright returns to her native Arkansas and examines explosive incidents grounded in the Civil Rights Movement. In her signature style, Wright interweaves oral histories, hymns, lists, interviews, newspaper accounts, and personal memories—especially those of her incandescent mentor, Mrs. Vittitow—with the voices of witnesses, neighbors, police, and activists. This history leaps howling off the page. C.D. Wright has published over a dozen works of poetry and prose. Among her honors are the Griffin Poetry Prize and a MacArthur Fellowship. She teaches at Brown University and lives outside of Providence, Rhode Island.
