WRIGHT-GOOD POETRY: Maybe you haven\’92t heard about Carolyn D. Wright. That\’92s fine. She\’92s a wonderful poet, and poetry is alive and well in America even if nobody pays attention. But we should. This Mountain Home, Ark. native has been poet laureate of her new home, Rhode Island (where she\’92s a professor at Brown University in Providence). You can take a woman out of the South, but you can\’92t take the South out of a woman: even up East she gets by saying “goddamnit\’94 (from her ars poetica \’93And It Came to Pass\’94). C. D. Wright is the featured speaker of the UAB 2009 Spring Writer\’92s Series and the author of several books of poetry including Steal Away: New and Selected Poems and (I mention this one just because the title is awesome) Translation of the Gospel Back into Tongues. As she says beautifully in the aforementioned poem, \’93\’85the unconnected life/is not worth living \’85 Something else is out there/goddamnit/And I want to hear it.\’94 Get connected. Find where that something else lies. Things get started at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 25, at the UAB Hulsey Recital Hall, 950 13th St. South. This event is free.
