Night Clerk at the Hotel of Both Worlds: Pitt Poetry Series

Autor Angela Ball
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 oct 2007
Winner of the 2006 Donald Hall Prize in Poetry.
Angela Ball’s lyrical, wry, and rueful poems float on a river of incongruities on which we may find Ron Popeil, Lord Byron, and Rudyard Kipling sharing the same raft; they create a fascinating commerce between the sublime and the ridiculous.

Recenzii

"Ball gives her reader a world as complex as its characters, as challenging as the dichotomies humans create. Ball brings energy and humor to subject matter that is both complex and trivial, making Night Clerk at the Hotel of Both Worlds a book worth sleeping in."
--Crab Orchard Review

”Navigates nimbly between narrative and language and mapping the bright territory in which imagination suffuses the mundane. Droll, allusive, plaintive in an ironic pitch, Ball’s lyrics defy reader expectations as they develop, dodging and burning to create vibrant sound patches and images.”
—The Hollins Critic
