In Range of Light, Catharine Savage Brosman offers lyrical and
narrative poems about the American West and Southwest, from Wyoming
to New Mexico to California. She explores three different types of
ranges-mountains, grazing ranges, and the scope and spectrum of
light, a constant motif. Employing a variety of verse forms, she
evokes the landscapes, animals, folk art, prehistoric peoples, and
historical figures of this captivating area. Scenes and objects are
not inert, but humanized by the action of past figures or by
observers, seeing the West, modifying it through their presence and
being modified in turn: Green emotion binds / the muscled landscape
to our gaze. The region as a whole, with its tremendous differences
and varied history, but shared identity, comes alive under
Brosman's touch-to be experienced and admired. Catharine Savage
Brosman's poetry collections include Places in Mind and The Muscled
Truce, among others. A native of Colorado and a longtime resident
of New Orleans, she is a professor emerita of French at Tulane
University. Her work has appeared in numerous publications,
including La Nouvelle Revue Franaise, Europe (Paris), Critical
Quarterly, and Sewanee Review.
