Here’s more from The Washington Post: “Sometimes, he said, poems appeared to him fully formed in his mind: All he had to was type them out. His 2001 collection ‘The Beforelife’ was a dark, candid look at his addictions and his experiences in a mental hospital. Mr. Wright continued to chronicle his journey of self-discovery with ‘Walking to Martha’s Vineyard,’ which touched his troubled memories of his father and examined questions of mortality.” (via The Huffington Post)
