She also recounts, in free verse, formal verse, and one prose poem, the \"\"misdeeds of Katrina\"\" as she and others experienced them.\u003cbr\u003e\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.","brand":"Louisiana State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55807634309464,"sku":"9780807138809","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780807138809.jpg?v=1778679948","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/under-the-pergola","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
