In "The Scarlet Ibis, " Susan Hahn has created an intricately structured sequence of interlinked poems centered around the single compelling image of the ibis. The resonance of this image grows through each section of the book as Hahn skillfully employs theme and variation, counterpoint and mirroring techniques. The ibis first appears as part of an illusion, the disappearing object in a magician s trick, which then evokes the greatest disappearing act of all death where there are no tricks to bring about a reappearance. The rich complexity multiplies as the second section focuses on a...
