Great Regulars: What happens, though, when a poet sets

out to construct a ruin 2,000 years in advance? The result is a book like Philadelphia-based poet Katie Ford's new volume, Colosseum--a collection full of self-conscious occlusions, far-reaching links and some oracular, beautiful lines.

Before Ford moved to Pennsylvania, she lived in New Orleans, and this book is haunted by Katrina and how the storm transformed that city.
