Insomniac Press, 2008
"In her stunning new volume of poems, The Red Element, Catherine Graham distills the whirling ambiguities of memories into gorgeous, mysterious single images, making the short poem triumph again on the Canadian literary landscape. With the dense, new energy of The Red Element, where all the poems form a bravura lyrical sequence, Graham proves herself as one of Canada's premier younger poets."

Order The Red Element
Insomniac Press, 2003
"The poems in Pupa, her first collection, are spiky little meditations so taut and tightly controlled they are almost claustrophobic...The poems' effect is all the more intense as a result.... This impressive collection should put her on the Canlit map."

Order Pupa
Abbey Press, 1998
"...dives sensually into experience and enables the reader to follow. She writes what happens so that it happens again. It's an appealing collection, full of telling and specific detail."
