Winner of the 2007 Saturnalia Books Poetry Prize, Selected by John YauCatherine Pierce's debut, Famous Last Words, is a love letter to life, poetry, and all things American. Beginning with a series of literal love poems (to the word "lonesome", to blank space, to doo-wop, to fear, etc.), Pierce whisks the reader on a cross-country road trip (both literally and figuratively) that takes a tangential spree into a series of genre films and ends with gallows humor in the re-imagining of the events surrounding the famous last words of icons like Billy the Kid, Marie Antoinette, Isadora Duncan, and Pancho Villa.

The book is very organized and convenient. To explain, the poem are very short for those who do not like to read poetry. Also, the book has a large selection of culturally diverse poems. Overall, the book is very thin but it has several poems and each poem has a great significance. (

This book of poems written by Catherine Pierce shows just how interesting and creative poetry can be. Her use of imagery depicts things that we see on a daily basis in a different light. This book would be great for adults and adolescents to read. (

This book of poetry was wonderfully written by a professor at my university. Reading poems in this book reminded me of how awesome poetry truly is. In many poems in this work, Catherine Pierce takes everyday things and feelings and turns them into beautiful and complex works of literature. (
