5.0 out of 5 stars
a flurry, whirlwind, and wonder,
By Ana (chicago) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Babel (Pitt Poetry Series) (Paperback)
Ms. Hamby is a truly gifted poet. Her words fly from the page like a swarm of butterflies and bees, buzzing and fluttering in an intense sphere tickling your every vein. Every poem is a fusion of rant, dance, and holler, lovliness, and song. This is a true gem.

Another Guest for the Ideal Dinner Party,

This review is from: Babel (Pitt Poetry Series) (Paperback)
This is a collection of complex, intense, extremely rich riffs on urban life in America and France -- right now. And, just in case all those adjectives makes you imagine I'm ranting about some sort of unfocussed, drugged out beat wannabe ramblings -- I mean Hamby is generous with her intelligence and sophistication and elaborates both into mind bending odes with a stunning sense of classical balance and judicious length. This poetry is as sexy as Miles Davis's type of cool. If I were still giving dinner parties every other week, I'd invite her over every other month. Not all the time, mind you; but DEFINITELY often.
