A Poet Illumines the Life of the Mind

In today’s first “On the Square” article, Losana Boyd reviews a new collection of poems, Kathleen Graber’s The Eternal City . “Brokenness haunts the pages” of the book, she writes in A Poet Haunted by Brokenness ., and the poet’s work “focuses on illuminating the life of the mind through a tapestry of richly drawn and arresting images.”
