Barbara Hamby's poems drift across histories and continents, from early writing and culture in Mesopotamia through the motion-picture heaven that seems so much like Paris, to odes on such thoroughly American subjects as hardware stores, bubblegum, barbecue, and sharp-tongued cocktail waitresses giving mandatory pre-date quizzes to lawyers.

Recenzii
“Hamby’s
poems
resemble
spells,
words
cascading
like
Flora’s
flowers.
The
result
in
a
break-necking
pace,
and
it
is
almost
miraculous
that
this
collection
does
not
spin
out
of
control.
.
.
.
These
poems
are
tender,
humble,
and
often
humorous.
.
.
.
This
collection
does
pack
a
punch.”
--ForeWord Magazine
--ForeWord Magazine
“Barbar
a
Hamby’s
Babel
is
just
that--a
wild
confluence
of
words
almost
inundated
by
its
barely
restrained
verbal
enthusiasms.
Funky,
erudite,
obsessively
referential,
and
wild
with
listing,
her
poems
orgiastically
invite
us
to
hurl
ourselves
into
them."
--Billy Collins
--Billy Collins
"Babel
is
a
word-lover's
romp,
a
cultural
historian's
playground.
Hamby
can
be
as
inclusive
as
Goldbarth,
as
intelligently
zany
as
Frank
O'Hara.
This
is
poetry
that
energizes,
that
dares
to
give
us
a
high-wire
performer's
notion
of
a
good
time."
—Stephen Dunn
—Stephen Dunn
“Hamby’s
poems
have
a
jumping
verve
and
forward
drive.
She
knows
American
life
and
language
with
exuberant
precision
and
links
them
to
the
popular
culture,
high
art,
and
languages
of
many
of
other
countries,
all
of
this
in
a
prfoundly
assured,
resourceful,
inventive
and
unifying
voice.”
