Picture Bride - Paperback

by Cathy Song (Author)

The winning volume in the 1982 Yale Series of Younger Poets competition is Cathy Song's Picture Bride, a book about people and their innumerable journeys. Distinguished poet Richard Hugo says, "Cathy Song's poems are flowers: colorful, sensual, and quiet, and they are offered almost shyly as bouquets to those moments in life that seemed minor but in retrospect count the most. She often reminds a loud, indifferent, hard world of what truly matters to the human spirit."
Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1955, Cathy Song received a B.A. from Wellesley College in 1977 and an M.A. in creative writing from Boston University in 1981. Her poems have appeared in an anthology of asian-pacific literature and in Dark Horse, The Greenfield Review, and West Branch.
