A poignant homage to the grace of nostalgia, Katharine Carle's new book, The Order of Things, is a profound portrait of her life, of family, of friends, and of all the experiences in life that engender storms of tragedy as well as impossibly joyous times and humorous moments. The Order of Things weaves Katharine's wisdom with her tenderness and reverence for memories as touching as they are wise. These poems are both heartbreaking and joyous as they intertwine and touch us deeply, permanently, acknowledging life's superior mysteries fiercely, wisely, diligently, and lovingly. Katharine Carle's spirit speaks on every page. Here a bit of humor, there a wry smile: a bittersweetness of memories and love stories about people and places in her heart. In poem after poem, one resonates to her evocative words.
