<div><p>“<i>Fragment of the Head of a Queen</i> makes it clear why Cate Marvin is becoming one of our essential poets.”—Rodney Jones</p><p>Cate Marvin’s new poems, their wrought music, unblinking focus, and hard-edged sensuality, are wreathed with an entirely different silence than her first collection. The brokenness and loss of the fragmented queen—seeming to rise up through centuries—is their tutelary spirit.</p><p> <b>Cate Marvin</b> is the author of <i>World’s Tallest Disaster,</i> awarded the 2000 Kathryn A. Morton Prize by Robert Pinsky and the Kate Tufts Discovery Award (2002). She teaches creative writing in Staten Island, New York.</p></div>
