Catharine Savage Brosmans singular and authoritative voice, familiar to poetry readers in the South since the late 1960s, is heard again as she brings to scenes and topics, both new and familiar, her broad range of craftsmanship and styles. Her poetic practice shows how closely the art of verse can, and must, be connected to human experience. The book features travel poems from four continents, rhymed lyrics on small or expansive topics, narratives in blank verse, five translations from Baudelaire (among the least-known poems), and satires concerning painting and publishing. Recurring themes include great age and death, friendship, piano playing, flowers and gardens, and the desert. Whatever the setting and topic--exotic cities, a Rocky Mountain cabin, Breton dolmens, dinner by the water, a nasty fall, a flowering vine--readers will recognize their truth, feeling both little flickers of sensation and the deep currents of love and suffering.
