description: “Wit, verve, energy, and common intelligence mark the poems of The Public Mirror as truly distinctive. But what makes them necessary is the heartbeat in the shadows, the steam of daily things. This poet, as they say in the South, is doing business—and it is a rare, sometimes raw pleasure to watch him. Katrovas is real! - Dave Smith “Katrovas has turned the mirror away from himself to take in an urban world both brutal and beautiful. He manages the clear-eyed, unsentimental gaze of the most vigilant modernist, yet one hears the heart pulsing in every word.“ —Bonnie Costello
