description: The winning volume in the 1982 Yale Series of Younger Poets competition is Cathy Song’s Picture Bride , a book about people and their innumerable journeys. Distinguished poet Richard Hugo says, “Cathy Song’s poems are colorful, sensual, and quiet, and they are offered almost shyly as bouquets to those moments in life that seemed minor but in retrospect count the most. She often reminds a loud, indifferent, hard world of what truly matters to the human spirit.”Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1955, Cathy Song received a B.A. from Wellesley College in 1977 and an M.A. in creative writing from Boston University in 1981. Her poems have appeared in an anthology of asian-pacific literature and in Dark Horse, The Greenfield Review, and West Branch .
