Nothing but Blue

Nothing but Blue

Thoreau calls the merlin
a tenant of the air
but such a metaphor
requires clouds—nesting place
for almost weightless wings,
the swooping heart and eye
that know the sky. Too bad
this morning’s spotless reach
of blue above the pines
suggests no fanciful
boarding house for bob-whites,
no breezy porch to perch
a speckled thought.

The Golden Years Of The Fourth Dimension: Poems (Western Literature Series)

The Golden Years of the Fourth Dimension is the third poetry volume of Katharine Coles, whose work always exciting, has grown with each collection. Her poetry is erotic at the same time it is scientific, and seductively accessible while it is intellectually challenging. The variety and high intelligence of these poems will entertain and gratify while tweaking the reader's interest in the richness of the history Coles so skillfully weaves into her poetic tapestry. Love, the natural world, sensuality, and ideas intertwine irresistibly in this fine collection.

Fault

In Fault, Katharine Coles continues to explore her abiding interest in the intersections of science, culture, and history, but the book is perhaps best described as an extended meditation on love.   Ranging across time and continents, Coles addresses such figures as Newton, Kepler, and Vesalius, not only with intellectual rigor but also with a humor, intimacy, and buoyant optimism that render her subjects—the figures and the science—accessible within the capacious intellectual, emotional, and physical landscapes of the poems.
