Pressestimmen
“Colosseum is a book of polychromatic comprehensions and fiercely kinetic observation. In its vatic stock-taking of event and aftermath, the usual boundaries seem to fall away: interior and exterior, public and private, the intimacies of the close at hand and the overview clarities of distance interweave with precise and startling balance . . . Katie Ford’s poetry scours, distills, unsettles, and awakens.” —Jane Hirshfield
Kurzbeschreibung
The visceral new work by Katie Ford, whose poems “possess the veiled brilliance of stained glass windows seen at night” (The New York Times Book Review)
If you respect the dead
and recall where they died
by this time tomorrow
there will be nowhere to walk.
—“Earth”
and recall where they died
by this time tomorrow
there will be nowhere to walk.
—“Earth”
With gravity and resplendence, Colosseum confronts ruin in the ancient world and in the living moment, from historical accounts and from firsthand experience. Displaced from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, Katie Ford returns this powerful report attesting to the storm’s ferocity and its aftershock. Ford examines other catastrophes—those biblical, obscured by time, and those that play out daily, irrefutably, in the media. Colosseum is an essential, moving book in its insistence that our fates are intertwined and that devastation does not discriminate.

A Rare Book
4. Juni 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
Colosseum is a startling, rare book. The poems are authoritative and direct; they do not attempt to elude the reader, but instead confront the reader with an America that would have seemed impossible before Katrina. Katie Ford's affinities are with the great twentieth-century Eastern European and Russian poets, and there is a moral seriousness to her work that is all too uncommon in younger American poets. But it is her lyricism which carries the work, and makes Colosseum compulsive reading. This is a book to be returned to again and again.

Crucial
28. Mai 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
Katie Ford's Colosseum seethes around her surviving Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and the devastation she experienced in the ruined city. Edgy, alert, and masterful in their movement across and down the page, these poems blur the lines between the external and internal, between the present and the ancient, faith and doubt, personal and communal. Rich in emotion, but refusing easy sentiment, Ford's new collection pushes the poetics forward from her award-winning first book, Deposition, and establishes her as one of America's most gifted and crucial younger poets.

Drawing upon the lessons of history embedded within historical ruins
10. Juli 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
Colosseum is a brief collection of free-verse poems by award-winning poet Katie Ford. Drawing upon the lessons of history embedded within historical ruins, contrasted with modern-day ruins such as the devastation of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina (an experience the author encountered firsthand), Colosseum speaks of catastrophes throughout time, emphasizing that natural disasters deliver their wrath with equal fury to all people. A singularly compelling and thought-provoking poetry experience. "Earth": Wild horses folded into their last night. / One burrowed against the dead's descending heat / as three cantered from the threadbare wood. // You must leaving everything lit / by city light and Damascus light, anything fueled / except by your eyes on these animal bodies. // Species by species, light by light. // As for the tarpan it shall be for you. / A reckoning so slow you aren't even frightened.
