The brokenness and loss of the fragmented queen-seeming to rise up through centuries-is their tutelary spirit. Cate Marvin is the author of World's Tallest Disaster, awarded the 2000 Kathryn A. Morton Prize by Robert Pinsky and the Kate Tufts Discovery Award (2002).

At Marvin's table, the knife of domesticity becomes a threat, sharpened and shined.

But it is her excursions into wild image and passionate song that win the reader's heart. The heart is central in World's Tallest Disaster, which is essentially a book of love poems—love lost and found, love requited, love abandoned and betrayed. What Cate Marvin has done in her remarkably assured and powerful first collection is to remind us in fresh terms of the news that stays news: that our desire is \"Not a sea of longing,\/\/ but the brack of wanting what's physical\/ to help us forget we are physical.\"  \"Violently passionate and firmly symmetrical, like tango or the blues, these poems-at first-are about sexual passion. . . . But in the great tradition of love poetry, these poems don't stop with love. They move from eros to imagination. Or they thrash between the two. . . . This is an encouraging book in the context of American poetry's fashions or factions, because it evades categories. [Marvin's] is an urgent as well as an artful voice.\"—from the Foreword by Robert Pinsky  Marketing Plans o Author tour in Ohio, Kentucky, and NYC  o Brochure and postcard mailings  o Advertisements in key literary and trade magazinesBook tour dates including:  o Cincinnati  o Louisville  o New York City  Cate Marvin was born in Washington, D.C.
