Title: Blends the art of a fabulator with the art of a sculptor
Review: The poetry of Joy Katz blends the art of a fabulator with the art of a sculptor to create a sensual and impressive autobiographical poetry in Fabulae. Her poetry ranges from the comedic to the philosophical and weaves a linguistic delight through her remarkable and memorable use of word rhythms and imagery. The Word Wife: When the silence between them/was a new thing--a morning in a garden--/he took a pencil and sketched her feed./He matched her ankles/in crisp lines falling like wisps/of hair from a boy's first cut./The quick strokes were moths/lighting her body, the background/white, like the word wife, first light/touching the violet's hair. The new word/husband, hush of a car up the street./Pigeons swallowing their tongues beneath the eaves.
