I was fortunate to attend a workshop with Barbara Hamby because her poetry really speaks to me. I love the various forms she uses, and how history and pop culture make regular appearances. I've been highly influenced in my own poetry writing by her style and contribution to the modern form. I was fortunate to attend a workshop with Barbara Hamby because her poetry really speaks to me.

She plays with words, populating her two-page odes with puns and alliterations, history lessons and travel guides for those who lose their luggage in Italy. The reader reads the poems of ON THE STREET OF DIVINE LOVE as if they were chapters in an intriguing whodunit, staying up into the unmentionable hours to read about the bad girl in the mambo Cadillac and the narrator's 1977 Toyota. Li'l Kim and Roy Rogers make appearances. As does an alcoho Barbara Hamby's poems are always a delight to read.
