Catch Light (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781566892377)

A National Poetry Series winner, chosen by David Shapiro

"The whole / world is synonyms," says Sarah O'Brien in a debut collection that contemplates the art of photography and dwells in the many essences of light. Each poem is a miniature snapshot that locates the reality in illusion, tests the perception of imagination, and throws open the windows of visual narrative.
