Description
Copper Canyon Press (paperback, 2005)
Publisher Marketing: C.D. Wright takes her title from a line of legal defense, peculiar to Texas courts, in which it is held that if a man kills before having had time “to cool” after receiving an injury or an insult he is not guilty of murder.
Cooling Timeis a new type of book, an unruly vigil that is an interconnected memoir-poem-essay about contemporary American poetry. Ever focused onpossibilities, Wright demonstrates that “the search for models becomes a search for alternatives,” and thereby defines the terms by which poets can chart their own course.
