Correspondence

By Kathleen Graber

Book Overview

Winner of the 2005 Saturnalia Books Poetry Prize, selected by Bob Hicok "Correspondence," writes Mark Doty, "is a fresh accomplishment, swift with feeling and intelligence, the work of a restless critical mind mapping its way toward a way to bear the weight of love." Kathleen Graber's debut book takes us on a trip through history and time, varying her subjects with speed and seamlessness, to a dizzying, dazzling effect. From the Philadelphia Eagles to Cornell's boxes, from a fertility clinic to Daguerre's prints, from Kafka to running over two cats, from Annette Benning to Marianne Moore, Kathleen Graber's poems embrace what her inquisitive mind traverses, ensnaring past and present, familiar and foreign, soulful and scientific, in a celebration of chaos that is generous and healing."

Customer Reviews

a first-rate first book of poems

Intelligent, moving, poems that bring together disparate lines of thinking to create a poetry that feels alive, compelling and conscious. A very strong collection.

Excellent read

It is hard for me to pick a favorite poem from this excellent book. I have read through each several times over and the consistency is what keeps me coming back. Great job!
