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\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1574410032\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781574410037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/27\/1995 pg. 67\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/1995 pg. 606","brand":"Barbara Hamby","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939723149567,"sku":"9781574410037","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_89b26709-9cbd-4c0f-a229-f57d1e5e830d.jpg?v=1681443128","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/delirium-barbara-hamby-9781574410037","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
