About How News Travels:

"Judy Katz creates quietly revelatory elegies and odes for the shifting relationships of mid-life: the death of a mother, the independence of grown children, the intimacy of romance and trust between husband and wife. Inevitable and surprising, these poems invite us into the passage of time. This is a collection to savor, for 'who can sleep / when it keeps arriving / over and over / the world, the world.'"
—Ellen Bass
