The visceral new work by Katie Ford, whose poems "possess the
veiled brilliance of stained glass windows seen at night" ("The New
York Times Book Review")
If you respect the dead
and recall where they died
by this time tomorrow
there will be nowhere to walk.
--"Earth" With gravity and resplendence, "Colosseum" confronts
ruin in the ancient world and in the living moment, from historical
accounts and from firsthand experience. Displaced from New Orleans
after Hurricane Katrina, Katie Ford returns this powerful report
attesting to the storm's ferocity and its aftershock. Ford examines
other catastrophes--those biblical, obscured by time, and those
that play out daily, irrefutably, in the media. "Colosseum" is an
essential, moving book in its insistence that our fates are
intertwined and that devastation does not discriminate.
