"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
'This first collection of poems introduces a distinctively energetic Southern voice. Hammond's language fairly crackles with words that 'escape rebellion as steam / from the snap-bean pot.' In addition to weaving rich linguistic textures that offer surprises at nearly every turn, Hammond is a powerful storyteller.'
Mary Stewart Hammond's poems have appeared in The New Yorker, the Kenyon Review, the Paris Review, the Yale Review, and Ploughshares, among others. She is the author of the collections Out of Canaan and Entering History. Hammond lives in New York City.
