Gregory Orr’s genius is the transformation of trauma into art. Whether writing about his brother’s tragic death during a hunting accident, drug addiction, or being jailed during the Civil Rights struggle, lyricism erupts in the midst of desolation and violence. Orr’s spare, succinct poems distill myth from the domestic and display a richness of action and visual detail.
