Jay Wright (poet)
Jay Wright (born May 25, 1935〔(Jay Wright ) at poets.org.〕) is an African-American poet, playwright, and essayist. Born in Albuquerque, New Mexico,〔(Poets.org – Poetry, Poems, Bios & More – Jay Wright )〕 he currently lives in Bradford, Vermont. Although his work is not as widely known as other American poets of his generation, it has received considerable critical acclaim. Wright's work is emblematic of what the Guyanese-British writer Wilson Harris has termed the "cross-cultural imagination." Following his receiving the Bollingen Prize in Poetry in 2005, Wright is recognized as one of the principal contributors to poetry in the early 21st century.
