Revelling in the rich interplay between Native American, African American, Latin American, European and West African cultural forms, Wright detangles the threads of these complex historical forces to present a tapestry of the Atlantic World and the people who move within it.<BR><BR>Published for the first time in the UK, Transfigurations is the definitive volume that includes all of Wright's 20th century poetry works - The Homecoming Singer (1971), Soothsayers and Omens (1976), Explications/Interpretations (1984), Dimensions of History (1976), The Double Invention of Komo (1980), Elaine's Book (1988), Boleros (1991), Transformations (1997).<BR><BR>Transfigurations is a singular opportunity for readers to fully immerse themselves in the sublime imagination of one of the most profound, generous and innovative American poets of all time.<BR>.
