In the three sections of this book, Barbara Hamby walks out into the current American chaos with its inferno of wars, street violence, apocalyptic fantasies, and racial tension. Fueled by an American lingo that embraces slang, Yiddish, street talk, and the yearning to be able to describe her moment in time, these poems encompass the complicated past, difficult present, and unknown future. Every foray offers a glimpse of the world constructed from one woman's collage of consciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBarbara Hamby \u003c\/b\u003ehas published seven books of poetry, most recently \u003ci\u003eBird\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOn the Street of Divine Love: New and Selected Poems\u003c\/i\u003e.
