Catherine Wagner's poems proclaim a finitude that is anything but final, that is instead embodied and generative. That Wagner is in love with the world and its transactions—perceptions, superficial and otherwise; childbearing, painful and otherwise; gains, financial and otherwise—allows for a poetry that is full of song yet brazenly topical.
