For conditions, please view the photographs. James Arlington Wright (December 13, 1927 – March 25, 1980) was an American poet. His 1972 Collected Poems won the Pulitzer Prize. In addition to his other awards, Wright received a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. He corresponded with another Rockefeller grantee, Catholic nun, literary critic and poet M. Bernetta Quinn.

Since his death, Wright has developed a cult following, transforming him into a seminal writer of significant influence. Fellow Pulitzer prize for poetry winner Mary Oliver wrote “Three Poems for James Wright” upon his death, and hundreds of writers gathered annually for decades to pay tribute at the James Wright Poetry Festival held from 1981 through 2007 in Martins Ferry.
