Červenokrídly drozd
James Wright (1927–1980), výnimočný hlas americkej poézie druhej polovice 20. storočia. V čase, keď jeho generační druhovia, beatnici, písali hlučnú, až škandalóznu poéziu, ponúkol svoje tiché, krehké verše, ktoré si postupne získavali uznanie odbornej kritiky i srdcia čoraz väčšieho počtu čitateľov.
Za svoje Zobrané básne (Collected Poems) získal v roku 1972 Pulitzerovu cenu. V knižnom preklade vychádza jeho poézia na Slovensku po prvý raz. Básne preložila a doslov napísala Mila Haugová.

On December 13, 1927, James Arlington Wright was born in Martins Ferry, Ohio. His father worked for fifty years at a glass factory, and his mother left school at fourteen to work in a laundry; neither attended school beyond the eighth grade. While in high school in 1943 Wright suffered a nervous breakdown and missed a year of school. When he graduated in 1946, a year late, he joined the army and was stationed in Japan during the American occupation. He then attended Kenyon College on the G.I. Bill, and studied under John Crowe Ransom. He graduated cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa in 1952, then married another Martins Ferry native, Liberty Kardules. The two traveled to Austria, where, on a Fulbright Fellowship, Wright studied the works of Theodor Storm and Georg Trakl at the University of Vienna. He returned to the U.S. and earned master's and doctoral degrees at the University of Washington, studying with Theodore Roethke and Stanley Kunitz. He went on to teach at The University of Minnesota, Macalester College, and New York City's Hunter College.

Zbierku dokonale vystihuje veta z doslovu Mily Haugovej:
Agónia ľudskej existencie, ktorá sa stáva vydržateľná len cez zázrak lásky a krásu prírody a výtvorov ľudského ducha.
