In this National Book Award finalist and National Book Critics Circle Award finalist, C.D.

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. " Less
