About this product
Product Information
This collection is a love letter to language with poems that are drunk and filled with references to the hyperkinetic world of the twenty-first century. Yet Zeus and Hera tangle with Leda on the interstate; Ava Gardner becomes a Hindu princess; and Shiva, the Destroyer, reigns over all. English is the primary god here, with its huge vocabulary and omnivorous gluttony for new words, yet the mystery of the alphabet is behind everything, a funky puppet masterwho can make a new world out of nothing.

Reviews
"Combines an intense love affair with language and a consideration of it.Throughout the collection, Hamby has enormous fun with the English language. . . .Anyone who has contemplated fear; had a comment to make about war or religion; is passionate about cake; enjoys music, words, and sound; and keeps pluging at life as best as possible, with a brilliant vitality is a peer of Hamby's, and will laugh, think, and tap toes in rhythm to her book." --Hollins Critic, "As the poet has discovered for herself, NOTHING succeeds like excess. Her poems have taughtmehow to be happy while hysterical, or even just how to be hysterical without tears. Who else could get me there so fast, so far, so fastidious? Seriously, theAll-Night Lingo Tangois the way out even before dark, and I cherish every disyllabic slur: baa baa, Barbara, have you any bull? The answer is yes sir, yes sir, nobody's fool." -Richard Howard, "Barbara Hamby triple-somersaults, dives, flips, and swings from rung to rung high over our heads on the flying trapeze. . . . Don't miss [All-Night Lingo Tango] . . . It's a perfect gift to yourself." --Portland Writing Examiner, "Barbara Hamby triple-somersaults, dives, flips, and swings from rung to rung high over our heads on the flying trapeze. . . . Don't miss [All-Night Lingo Tango] . . . It's a perfect gift to yourself." --Portland Writing Examiner, "Strap on your dancing shoes before opening Barbara Hamby's fourth collection 'All-Night Lingo Tango.' The language is lush and erotic, as Hamby trips from one allusion and image to another so fast the reader is left breathless and giddy." --Tallahassee Democrat, "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." --Bomb Magazine, "Barbara Hamby triple-somersaults, dives, flips, and swings from rung to rung high over our heads on the flying trapeze. . . . Don't miss [All-Night Lingo Tango] . . . It's a perfect gift to yourself." -Portland Writing Examiner, "Combines an intense love affair with language and a consideration of it.Throughout the collection, Hamby has enormous fun with the English language. . . .Anyone who has contemplated fear; had a comment to make about war or religion; is passionate about cake; enjoys music, words, and sound; and keeps pluging at life as best as possible, with a brilliant vitality is a peer of Hamby's, and will laugh, think, and tap toes in rhythm to her book." -Hollins Critic, "With its hyperintensity of imagery, humor, and substance sustained throughout,All Night Lingo Tangois a whirling genius of a book." -Susan Hahn, "Combines an intense love affair with language and a consideration of it.Throughout the collection, Hamby has enormous fun with the English language. . . .Anyone who has contemplated fear; had a comment to make about war or religion; is passionate about cake; enjoys music, words, and sound; and keeps pluging at life as best as possible, with a brilliant vitality is a peer of Hamby's, and will laugh, think, and tap toes in rhythm to her book." --Hollins Critic, "Swiveling, strumming, and slicing through air like an intimate Alvin Ailey ensemble, Hamby exhales a world the shape of associated conditions and intimate emotions out of her carefully chosen words. The poems are individually stunning. Collected together, they dance." --Barnes and Noble Review, "Scant verbiage cannot rise to the occasion of these brilliantly overbrimming, beautifully bountiful, life-stuffed, word-smart, unconstrained but strangely formal, wise and wicked andzaftiglovelies. They turn 'wretched excess' to 'blessed excess' and declare a new physics of plenitude." -Albert Goldbarth, "Barbara Hamby knows that the Insomnia Inn is next door to the Hate Hotel, the ghouls are out, and death's a bear. But her poetry's torrential champagne forbids glumness-as in this salubrious simile: 'Nightmares are never over; they roll around in your brain, like Jell-O / primed with exploding fruit.'" -Mark Halliday, "Strap on your dancing shoes before opening Barbara Hamby's fourth collection 'All-Night Lingo Tango.' The language is lush and erotic, as Hamby trips from one allusion and image to another so fast the reader is left breathless and giddy." -Tallahassee Democrat
