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, André 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 Catharine Savage Brosman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807138800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807138809\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\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","brand":"Catharine Savage Brosman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926293250303,"sku":"9780807138809","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6f405639-1261-4a79-947a-6df40259c816.jpg?v=1681082265","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/under-the-pergola-catharine-savage-brosman-9780807138809","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
