Publisher Description: Katherine Bode-Lang's fierce and lyrical poems undertake the reformation of family mythology, place, and loves that each life requires to become its own. As Stephen Dunn notes in his introduction, One of the classic tricks of actors is when you want to get the attention of your audience, you lower, not raise, your voice. Katherine Bode-Lang's work is not a trick--her lowered voice kept attracting me. Mending I spent that summer tucked behind the library's stacks covers like rags. I undressed them further: removed cut cloth and bristol board, build a new spine, under the eyelids of the book. In my windowless room, Katherine Bode-Lang earned her MFA at Penn State, where she is the assistant director of The Methodology Center. She lives in central Pennsylvania. |
