About This Item
Paperback / softback. New. âA first book of remarkable talent and depth.â âPATTIANN ROGERS Like Atlas holding up the world, this collection elevates human historyâacknowledging and transforming patterns of all kinds through careful attention. In Atlas, Katrina Vandenberg captures the way events reverberate and repeat across time and place. In the seventeenth century in the Netherlands, as one poem notes, a virus fueled through the tulip trade, making the flowersâ veined petals so beautiful the price of bulbs soared; in the twentieth century in the United States, blood tainted with the AIDS virus was inadvertently transfused into the veins of hemophiliacs, eclipsing âthe purpose that briefly lit their brilliant veins.â In another poem, Vandenberg links an image of her sister, pausing in her work as housekeeper, with the contours of a maid in a Vermeer painting and a woman just âmade overâ on that dayâs episode of Oprah. Like any good atlas, this collection plots intersections: of love, death, history, art, and desire. Carrying lines and themes from one poem to the next, drawing on family artifacts, memory, and imagination, these are poems that build a conversation.
