Delirium (Volume 2) (Vassar Miller Prize in Poetry)
- Used Book in Good Condition
Barbara Hamby makes her poems out of jokes, Italian phrases, quotes from saints and philosophers, references to meals eaten and wines drunk. In a fluid, compelling voice, she sets a stage, peoples it with real and imagined characters, spins them into dizzying motion, and then makes everything disappear as with a wave of a conjurer's wand, leaving the reader to wonder, Â“Did that happen, or did I dream it?â€ One leaves her poetry the way one leaves a dark theater on a July afternoon, convinced that the ordinary passions really won't doÂ—they need to be larger, as large as they are in these poems.
