An inventive new collection from the acclaimed African-American poet Jay Wright

In Postage Stamps, Jay Wright continues his lifelong exploration as a sojourner, a pilgrim, the "homo viator," who speaks through and by an embellishment of a constantly changing movement to discover the incomplete sense and measure, the temporal invention of all relation, the soul in flight.

This word flows all alone
de rama en rama,
a semitone
shaping the enigma
of air and voice, its tone
a dilemma.
