Babel
ISBN: 9780822958598 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Babel" features more of the rhetorical acrobatics that fueled Barbara Hamby's earlier work. These whirlwinds of words and sounds form vistas, images, and scenes that are at once unique and immediately recognizable.
In poems such as Six, Sex, Say, she displays a linguistic bravado that moves effortlessly through translations, cognates, and homonyms. This love of words permeates the poems, from the husband wooing his future wife with a barrage of words so cunningly fluent, / so linguistically adroit in Flesh, Bone, and Red, to the alphabetic sampler woven from memory and love in Ode on My...

All-night Lingo Tango
ISBN: 9780822960171 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This collection is a love letter to language with poems that are drunk and filled with references to the hyperkinetic world of the twenty-first century. Yet Zeus and Hera tangle with Leda on the interstate; Ava Gardner becomes a Hindu princess; and Shiva, the Destroyer, reigns over all. English is the primary god here, with its huge vocabulary and omnivorous gluttony for new words, yet the mystery of the alphabet is behind everything, a funky puppet masterwho can make a new world out of nothing.

On the Street of Divine Love: New and Selected Poems
ISBN: 9780822962885 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Perhaps Paul Kareem Taylor said it best in his piece called On the Road Again: Barbara Hamby's American Odyssey "Reading Barbara Hamby's poetry is like going on a road trip, one where the woman behind the wheel lets you ride shotgun as she speeds across the open highways of an America where drive-in movie theaters still show Janet Leigh films on Friday nights, hardware stores have not been driven out of business by soulless corporate titans, and where long poetic lines first introduced by Walt Whitman and resurrected by Ginsberg are pregnant with a thousand reasons to marvel at the...

Delirium
ISBN: 9781574410037 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Winner of the Vassar Miller Prize in Poetry, 1994.
Barbara Hamby makes her poems out of jokes, Italian phrases, quotes from saints and philosophers, references to meals eaten and wines drunk. 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... Winner of the Vassar Miller Prize in Poetry, 1994.

Seriously Funny : Poems About Love, Death, Religion, Art, Politics, Sex, and Everything Else
ISBN: 9780820330877 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Can serious poetry be funny? Chaucer and Shakespeare would say yes, and so do the authors of these 187 poems that address timeless concerns but that also include comic elements. Beginning with the Beats and the New York School and continuing with both marquee-name poets and newcomers, "Seriously Funny" ranges from poems that are capsized by their own tomfoolery to those that glow with quiet wit to ones in which a laugh erupts in the midst of terrible darkness. Most of the selections were made in the editors' battered compact car, otherwise known as the Seriously Funny Mobile Unit.... Can serious poetry be funny?
