Spy Car and Other Poems is Lynne Handy's debut chapbook. The locales of her poetry range from an excavation site in Greece to a modern city street where she finds Tupac's rose thrusting up through the concrete. In her work, she embodies the hard-headed realism of her Yankee forebears, but also digs into southern roots to bring forth mystery and longing. The poet's love for history is reflected in many of her verses. Some poems are brazenly personal, revealing harsh secrets. Spy Car is a journey for the adventurous.
