Title: the metaphysical conceit
Review: Franz Wright appear to have a great deal of natural talent (he is the son of James Wright, after all), but there's something bluff about the poems themselves. It's as though they have to be spoken in a whisper to be believable. Any poem that can't be read in a full voice without laughing is taking itself way too seriously. And that was my problem anyway with this collection.
