A review by mattie
The Beforelife by Franz Wright

3.0

Got this used for $4. The previous owner had dog-eared specific poems throughout the book, which was delightful, like silent marginalia.

If you're going to read one Franz Wright book, though, it should still definitely be [b:Walking to Martha's Vineyard|148155|Walking to Martha's Vineyard|Franz Wright|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1327946161s/148155.jpg|142976]. This is the collection he wrote before that and it's rawer, more miserable, bleak and careful. It makes me appreciate Walking even more.
