Cathy Song

Frameless Windows, Squares of Light

Poems

Cathy Song's poems are "bouquets to those moments in life that seemed minor but in retrospect count the most," Richard Hugo said of the poet's first book. "She accommodates experiential extremes with a sensibility strengthened by patience that is centuries old, ancestral, tribal, a gift passed down."

Poignant visions of childhood, the family, and moments of perception that become 'a study of small pleasures' to be recalled and savored."—Library Journal

"[The poems'] power derives from the poet's calm reflectiveness, her serene acceptance of what both the past and the present bring to her imagination. . . . Song works to capture the events and characters in the manner of a skilled and sensitive photographer."Minneapolis Star-Tribune
