"Wright has found a way to wed fragments of an iconic America to a luminously strange idiom, eerie as a tin whistle, which she uses to evoke the haunted quality of our carnal existence."-<em>The New Yorker</em></p>
Inspired by numerous visits inside Louisiana state prisons-where MacArthur Fellow C.D. Wright served as a "factotum" for a portrait photographer-<em>One Big Self</em> bears witness to incarcerated men and women and speaks to the psychic toll of protracted time passed in constricted space. It is a riveting mosaic of distinct voices, epistolary pieces, elements from a moralistic board game, road signage, prison data, inmate correspondence, and "counts" of things-from baby's teeth to chigger bites: </p>
<em>Count your folding money</em>
<em>Count the times you said you wouldn't go back</em>
<em>Count your debts</em>
<em>Count the roaches when the light comes on</em>
<em>Count your kids after the housefire</em> </p>
<em>One Big Self</em>-originally published as a large-format limited edition that featured photographs and text-was selected by <em>The New York Times</em> and <em>The Village Voice</em> as a notable book of the year. This edition features the poem exclusively. </p>
<strong>C.D. Wright</strong> is the author of ten books of poetry, including several collaborations with photographer Deborah Luster. She is a professor at Brown University.</p>
It keeps challenging me, from form to temporality to language to voices to allusions to illusions to emotions but I think it really is one small step in the overall effort to reclaim the wholeness of human experience because to be honest, that girl, that man, that woman, that boy is cropped out of the picture but we are also cropped out of theirs.
