About meThe cruelty of alphabetical order means that LibraryThing does not list me as an author of An Exaltation of Forms, but I am indeed that Kathrine Varnes. I write poems, plays and essays on poetics, poetry, and feminism.

About my libraryMy library was in a state after the move from Missouri. And then I moved from Kentucky to New York. I am trying to get used to the idea that most of my books are actually still in Kentucky, and now I appreciate Library Thing even more than ever, because it reminds me of what I can't see.

As someone who has mostly been teaching at international schools moving around 6 countries in Asia (some more than once), how I appreciate your sense of what's not there. I love the cover feature--it seems very evocative. Some of my books are in storage in Nevada, some of them are in Chicago with my children, and too many are here in Nagoya as I worry about the move a year from now to somewhere else (unknown). My books and my cats.

I just added Exaltation of Forms (not 10 minutes ago) to my Powell's wish list.

katherine, i think our copies of roethke's _words for the wind_ must be from that american poet's course we took from robyn bell at ccs in the '80s. wasn't that a good one? and i still love roethke, even though people don't seem to talk about his work much anymore. lisa (phillips) howe
