Poetry. A National Poetry Series Winner, chosen by David Shapiro. CATCH LIGHT addresses all things photography—from its history to the necessity of light and white space, and from the thrills of its technology to the way we talk about and caption photographs, and the ways they, in turn, capture and change our outlook. Here, each poem becomes a miniature snapshot that locates the reality in illusion, ignites the imagination, and throws open the windows of visual narrative.
