With its broad range of vision and mastery of poetic technique, ARM IN ARM shows again why Catharine Savage Brosman is, as Claude Wilkinson wrote, one of America's finest poets. Her wit, powers of observation, and depth of feeling are displayed on page after page, as she looks at the world personally, phenomenologically, and spiritually. Historical figures including Alexander Mackenzie, Samuel Coleridge, Kit Carson, and Grace King rub elbows with imaginative creations such as Old Mr. Chauvin from the Louisiana bayou country. Landscapes in Annapurna, Great Wind, and elsewhere attest to the poet's evocative powers, as topography is paralleled by landscapes of the mind, arising from the real, but multivalent, with subtle shadings and emotions. Each of three parts concludes by a series: Fourteen Modern Poems in the Chinese Manner, Six War Poems, among Brosman's finest, concerned with the two world wars, and From The Hours of Catherine de Cleves, fourteen poems on saints.
