Winner of the Vassar Miller Prize in Poetry, 1994. 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, "Did that happen, or did I dream it?"
One leaves her poetry the way one leaves a dark theater on a July
afternoon, convinced that the ordinary passions really won't
do--they need to be larger, as large as they are in these poems.
