Through formal poems, riddle, and sustained lyric contemplative expression, Subach offers her own \"blue perfume flask with a gold band,\" the \"trade\" of art, hard-won through what the writer has survived. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In these poems, Hadrian and Antinous, Cleopatra and Marc Antony, Snow White and the Prince, as well as a range of separated lovers and characters divided by war, death, and family trauma are explored in their often-desperate predicaments. These poems are narratively dense, voice- and image-driven, full of passion and rage, and they draw on the poet's training in literature, languages, and history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKaren Subach \u003c\/b\u003egrew up outside of Philadelphia. \u003ci\u003eMysteries\u003c\/i\u003e, her chapbook of poems, was published by Finishing Line Press in 2008.
