Description: "In her eighth collection of poetry, Polishing the Glass Storm, Katherine Soniat constructs a riveting sequence of verse that explores how archetype can expand both personal vision and narrative perspective as we try to polish our experiences into an understanding of shared commonality. The four elements of water, fire, earth, and air offer material substance, as well as a backdrop for archetype to engage with the myriad roles played by terrain and humanity across the globe. Love occurs repeatedly in many like patterns, with every lover an archetype because of similarities in experience. Likenesses collect and multiply. In poems that construct a linguistic web between the metaphysical and material realms, Polishing the Glass Storm reminds us of the many ways in which language can unite otherwise frail connections between vision and experience"--
Review Quotes: "I am in awe of Katherine Soniat's latest collection. Her poetic energies and talents are many and fierce--mystery, imagination, story, knowledge, music, and wonder."--Dannye Powell
