A Tropical Word Sea,
By Carol (Columbus, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Alphabet of Desire (Paperback)
Reading this collection of poems, I felt like a mermaid swimming in a tropical word sea. I particularly resonated with "Kamehameha Drive-In, 25 Years Later"...perhaps because I have been there and was able to revisit this landmark of Hawai'ian adolescence through Hamby's songful imagery. "Footbinding as a Way of Life"--the title alone should make thoughtful people pause and regard in wonderment. The surprises and delights in Hamby's wordcrafting had my lover going "Wow!" when I did an oral reading of poems in this collection.
