Annie Wright's 'Redemption Songs' is a long-awaited event among the
fraternity of poetry readers and workshop loyalists. ..... Her subjects
range from Akhmatova to Kerouac to Walcott and from memory to sensory
stimuli. Her poems can be formal in tone as in the string of sonnets, haiku,
quatrains and tercets found here, but she is never afraid to let her hair
down....In fact much of the work is unabashedly erotic, paeans to the flesh
and desire if not outright lust.........the book is a testament to poetry as
discovery and surprise.
"watch me stream in the firmament, follow me
flying, winging, sinning, jubilant, home!"
(From 'Ascending The Bell Tower')
She makes it hard for her reader to look away.
