Since then, he has probed the nature of Southern experience, the conflict between religion and worldliness, the origins of poetry, the exaltations and perils of family. In this volume he brings such issues down to the old conflict between order and disorder. He responds with passion to the natural world, to history, to inheritance: \"before he flooded the rubble, he swept up the dust of Babylon \/ to give as presents, and he stored it in a jar.\" The breadth and sweep of these poems, their variety and fervor, surpass Hudgins's previous work in \u003ci\u003eAfter the Lost War\u003c\/i\u003e (winner of the Poets' Prize), \u003ci\u003eThe Never-Ending\u003c\/i\u003e (a runner-up for the National Book Award), and \u003ci\u003eThe Glass Hammer\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Hudgins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 061812697X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780618126972\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ecco Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/25\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.52w x 0.28d","brand":"Andrew Hudgins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43920392618239,"sku":"9780618126972","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2920f92c-fb18-4647-8343-363d98772148.jpg?v=1680815124","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/babylon-in-a-jar-andrew-hudgins-9780618126972","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
