Description
Poetry for Dearest Friends, Wrestling Partners, Demons, and Angels
The world is burning with fire and hatred, but at the same time it is filled with love and incredible beauty. The poems in Burn tango with why the world is so beautiful and terrible at the same time. Hamby asserts everything is a mess—how do we walk through it laughing and crying? Sometimes you look back and think, “How was I so lucky? I could have died a thousand times, but I didn’t. But I will.”
Advance Praise
“Barbara Hamby’s big, bawdy odes burn with the hard-won wisdom and delirious energy of a 'grown woman' who has lived to tell the tale.”
—Diane Seuss, author of frank: sonnets and Modern Poetry
“In Burn, Barbara Hamby returns to her signature power-odes full of humor and wonder.”
—Denise Duhamel, author of Pink Lady
