"Kathryn Winograd's new chapbook, Flying Beneath the Dog Star, though rooted in an intense pandemic year, offers lyrical and exquisitely descriptive poems that speak to all of us. These quiet but not silent poems are alive with birds, one thread woven into a vivid tapestry of fibers: with griefs, rhythms of nature, the poet's ponderings. Within and throughout these poems, the poet holds the reader tenderly in the pulsing center of here."
-Veronica Patterson, author of Sudden White Fan, Loveland Poet Laureate, 2019-2022
"Written from the deep isolation of our 2020 - 2021 Pandemic and the vivid clarity of sky and land at her high altitude cabin, these elegiac poems count the losses, personal and global, while seeking what remains: the poet's love for each bird and every star, for memory and hope. By facing a winter's bounty of grief, Winograd also shows us that the seasons abide."
-Carol D. Guerrero-Murphy, WILLA award winning author of Table Walking at Nighthawk, Chained Dog Dreams, and Bright Path Dark River.
"During times lived with few people (husband, family, friends) to a time thinking, at a distance, of all people (pan demos), Kathryn Winograd's poems continue to harvest what is beautiful and powerful and true."
-Martin McGovern, author of the poetry collection, Bad Fame, and, the play, Joseph K.
