She also recounts, in free verse, formal verse, and one prose poem, the misdeeds of Katrina as she and others experienced them.\u003cbr\u003eOther poems range widely, from reflections on writers Samuel Johnson, Paul Claudel, Andr  Malraux, and James Dickey to quiet meditations on the American West, Odysseus, fruits and vegetables, and the recent light years of the poet's life -- which she characterizes as silken... slipping smoothly off like a gown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-44039\"\u003eCatharine Savage Brosman\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.57h x 5.57w x 0.28d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807138809\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807138800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE005010\"\u003eAmerican | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCatharine Savage Brosman, who now lives in Houston, is professor emerita of French at Tulane University.
