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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Hamby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Vassar Miller Prize in Poetry #2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.03h x 6.05w x 0.31d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781574410037","brand":"University of North Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42713732776073,"sku":"9781574410037","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_aaa09550-2deb-4b3c-96e1-bec3a55eb48c.jpg?v=1719620781","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/delirium-9781574410037","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
