Night Clerk at the Hotel of Both Worlds (Pitt Poetry)

by Angela Ball

Night Clerk at the Hotel of Both Worlds (Pitt Poetry) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

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.
