	Heath Anthology of American LiteratureRichard Wright - Author Page
		Richard Wright’s home state of Mississippi was, at the time he was born near Natchez, the most oppressive place in the United States to be fl.
		But Wright also makes him the murderer of two women who have no immediately personal responsibility for his condition; they are, in terms of their role in the fiction, instruments that break the cycle of fear and self-denigration in which Bigger has been confined by the social and material conditions of his life.
		Instead, Wright’s self-portrait is marked by traits of rational understanding of events that entrap or mystify others and the capacity to use words to bridge the gap between society’s underclass and his readers.

	Haiku Poems by Richard Wright, Terebess Asia Online (TAO)
		Wright became so excited about the discovery that he began writing his own haiku, in which he attempted to capture, through his sensibility as an African American, the same Zen discipline and beauty in depicting man's relationship, not to his fellow man as he had in his fiction, but to nature and the natural world.
		Wright reveals in his use of nature that the social position of the speaker and his object in the haiku are relevant to the haiku’s meaning—to meaning-making in general.
		Wright’s haiku seem to emphasize that it is a cultural determinant that is to blame for his subjects’ being out of tune with nature: sun, rain, spring, autumn, flowers, and snow.

		Although Wright introduces sympathetic white Communists in two stories, they are not believable, and the ideal of interracial cooperation is undercut by his graphic depictions of racist violence committed by whites.
		Wright's prose is direct and graphic, focusing on the dark and violent aspects of life in the rural South during the Thirties.
		Wright's straightforward narration emphasizes his message, and like other proletarian authors Wright breaks from the pessimistic determinism of naturalism by idealizing some characters and supporting their heroic opposition to oppression with an underlying hope for melioration.
