Catherine Breese Davis On the Life and Work of an American Master

Poetry. Literary Nonfiction. Women's Studies. Edited by Martha Collins, Kevin Prufer, and Martin Rock. "Catherine Breese Davis fills an important but unsung niche in the tradition of women's poetry in the U.S. and now unsung no more. The editors of this book have given us a brilliant selection from Davis's poems, combined with illuminating writings about her work and life. This volume is a true labor of love, a priceless introduction to a lucid, poignant, and unflinching poet." Annie Finch "I have admired Catherine Davis's exquisitely sculpted lyrics for over forty years. But it has been futile to recommend her work to others because it has been nearly impossible for anyone to find the poems, most of which were never published in book form. What a gift to have this lost poet restored to us." Dana Goia"
