the Crab Orchard Series
in Poetry
Series Editor, Jon Tribble
“In poems shot through with grace, intellect, and
control, Katz considers the history and culture we
all stand, finally, as heirs to: from Dachau to the
deceptively still surfaces of American suburbia,
from Proserpina to Plath, from the subjugation
of women to the lust for empire—the result is a
collection as rich as it is ambitious, announcing an
already accomplished new voice in poetry.”
—Carl Phillips, author of Pastoral

FABULAE
Poems by Joy Katz
“Joy Katz is the quintessential storyteller,
spinning her marvelous tales out of the
gossamer of the imagination, but always
with the goal of capturing the flash and
flicker of the real world.…But the pleasure
of reading Fabulae comes also from the
way the elements of narrative, from the
simple to the fabulous, are compressed
into beautifully crafted poems.…Katz
combines the art of the fabulator with the
art of the sculptor. Hers is a distinctive
and original voice.”—Maura Stanton,
author of Glacier Wine
