ReviewsPast praise for On the Street of Divine Love: "The divine love in this book is at heart the love of poetry itself, and to partake of these poems is to share a measure of the poet's devotion." --George Bradley, The Yale Review, Past praise for Babel: "One has only to read a few pages of Babel to feel in the presence of a poet with a unique, many-layered consciousness, and a few more pages to realize that her considerable verbal dexterity and mastery of tone are qualities she's capable of sustaining. This is poetry that energizes, that dares to give us a high- wire performer's notion of a good time." --Stephen Dunn, final judge for the AWP/Donald Hall Prize for Poetry, Past praise for All-Night Lingo Tango: "Reading Barbara Hamby is like savoring a fine multi-course meal. Her poems are thick and meaty, filled with savory details, but full of subtle nuances only realized on multiple reads. She fuses humor, pop culture, literature, travel, and romance in an ebullient mix that one can't help devouring." --Susie DeFord, Bomblog
