Description:Katherine Bode-Lang's fierce and lyrical poems undertake the reformation of family mythology, place, and loves that each life requires to become its own. As Stephen Dunn notes in his introduction, "One of the classic tricks of actors is when you want to get the attention of your audience, you lower, not raise, your voice. Katherine Bode-Lang's work is not a trick—her lowered voice kept attracting me."MendingI spent that summer tucked behind the library's stackswith broken books, repairing bends and tatters,erasing pencil marks, tipping in the missing pages.Old books, weak and torn books, all came to my table—covers like rags. I undressed them further: removedbattered cloth with cuts through the spine and name,down inside joints still holding flapping limbs to well-stitched pages.Once undone, I would fashion a cast—red, green, black, or blue—cut cloth and bristol board, build a new spine,fasten on the covers with a batch of glue I made that week.The dressing so fitted, I would paint pages back together, layer tissueover tears, splint the bent corners, slip waxed paperunder the eyelids of the book. In my windowless room,a ward of old books lay quiet, pinned and dryingbetween bricks and boards. My handwriting later named them,numbered and tagged them, sent them back to metal shelves.Katherine Bode-Lang earned her MFA at Penn State, where she is the assistant director of The Methodology Center. She lives in central Pennsylvania.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
