Liberty's Quest

The Compelling Story of the Wife and Mother of Two Poetry Pulitzer Prize Winners, James Wright and Franz Wright by Liberty Kovacs Libby’s Oldest Son, Franz Wright, Poetry Pulitzer Prize Winner, Says. . . Liberty Kovacs is the most inspiring person I have ever known. The wife and mother of two infamously, recklessly self-centered, and self-destructive writers (I’m the son), her life—as teacher, therapist, and writer —is an embodiment of self-sacrifice, triumph over adversity, and the never-ending quest to lessen rather than contribute to the suffering of other human beings. It is a religious life, in the truest and most literal sense, and this book is the history of that life. I know it will provide serenity, courage, and inspiration to anyone in need of them.  —Franz Wright, Poetry Pulitzer Prize Winner for his 2003 poetry collection, Walking to Martha's Vineyard and author of The Beforelife, God's Silence, The Night World and the Word Night, and others With generous candor and charm,
