"Infinity takes up little space, blackbirds meet in the self-same place, an inch fern knows but light and shade, the dark of night …. and is unafraid."

In Observe the Lark, Katie Louchheim draws on a lifetime of experience, setting down the distillation of what she has learned with great delicacy, tact, and a lightness of touch. Her poems are about public and private men and women, about ambition and beauty and lost love, about nature and the comforting rhythms of dailiness - "you and me and our diurnal devotions." The fifty-seven poems in this collection, which draw on the best of her work over the past two decades, are sometimes satirical, sometimes elegiac or epigrammatic, but most of all intensely lyrical. Mrs. Louchheim's pure, musical tone is very much her own. Her poems are intimate, aware, and memorable, the essential testimony of an unusually acute sensibility.
