(Women in Parentheses)
Aldrich Press/Kelsay Books, 2019
Women in Parentheses is a delightful, important, sexy, smart, and sassy collection of poems about women caught between the concrete and abstract, the real and imagined—confines, parentheses, sometimes cultural, psychological, sexual, or of their own making.
Writing in the Ether
Dos Madres Press, 2018
The poems and short prose in Catherine Arra’s Writing in the Ether were born from the connective tissue of memory, the bones of the past, and the spirit that insists not only upon seeing and remembering, but upon reconciling “the holy and the unholy” to embrace what is.
Tales of Intrigue & Plumage
FutureCycle Press, 2017
In a world rife with discord and discontent, frequently bound and blinded by technology, Catherine Arra turns our gaze to nature and the wild.
Loving from the Backbone
Flutter Press, 2015
Loving from the Backbone is a collection of love poems and a little erotica. Catherine Arra's intent in gathering the poems, many of which were scattered throughout various notebooks and journals, is to celebrate the loving of everyday.
Slamming & Splitting
Red Ochre Press, 2014
Catherine Arra's first chapbook of poems was a 2013 winner of the Red Ochre Press Chapbook Contest. Arra takes the reader through the subterranean layers and avalanches of divorce without sentimentality, blame, easy answers or magnanimous forgiveness.
