- Synopsis
- Colosseum confronts ruin in the ancient world and in the living moment, from historical accounts and from firsthand experience. Displaced from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, Katie Ford returns these powerful poems attesting to the storm's ferocity and its aftershock. Ford examines other catastrophes--those biblical, obscured by time, and those that play out daily, irrefutably, in the media, all through poetry. Colosseum is an essential, moving book in its insistence that our fates are intertwined and that devastation does not discriminate.
