A sense of place

"A Sense of Place has promise of being acclaimed throughout the poetry world as one of the masterpieces of literature of the last two decades. In a scene of change and revolutionary ideas toward traditional poetry, Doctor Wright's adherence to superb craftsmanship is a fresh and exhilarating experience. Her combination of breadth of historical events and true admiration of Sixteenth and Eighteenth Century Poets makes her highly skilled in advanced poetry. Although aware of the revolutionary trend of modern poetry, the author adheres to traditional style with tremendous success. The frivolous and extraneous is beneath her superior capabilities as she gives us new poetry in classic forms. The vibrant variety of subjects adds to the charm of A Sense of Place. Her first book, Etruscan Princess, required three printings. Dr. Wright was primarily an Elizabethan scholar, advancing into the position in 1963 of Faculty Research Lecturer which embraced the Shakespearean era as well. Her poems follow the pattern of some sonnet and rhymed verse which have a beauty of design and thought that is refreshing and tasteful. Her subjects are alive, pertaining to events, such as the astronauts or places she has visited in England and Europe that were homes of the most gifted of poets." -taken from the dust jacket.
