"The Arrest"
Excerpt from My Beautiful Impostor
Archived online at www.narrativemagazine.com
Deer Table Legs
A subtle variation on Romeo and Juliet, Deer Table Legs is multicultural in the widest, most generous use of that term. Sometimes locating her poems in the Iran of her birth, Katayoon Zandvakili tells more than one kind of love story in narrative filled with irony and tenderness. The book's title poem won a Pushcart Prize in 2000.
