Mistress of Otherness
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Budy's poems take us places, within familiar surroundings, we haven't really been before, or try hard to deny acknowledging. Budy unswervingly engages all that is human and mystical in our time. She can inspire the beasts of the jungle and the chicekens themselves to dance!

This is, without a doubt, one of my favorite books of recent poetry. Among her many other talents, AHB cleverly recasts fairy tales, without falling victim to Adrienne Rich's tendency to find mythology in everything, and her poetic felicity goes far beyond ironic versions of folk wisdom. She'll teach you about pain and aging, yet her profundities don't ring pedantic. She'll humor you without sacrificing her poetic integrity. I cannot say enough in praise of her craft. Too many writers continue to pass off broken prose as poetry, yet AHB pays close attention to line and teases you with occasional amphibolic turns of phrase. Her emotional insight into relationships and her ability to render those relationships with candor makes her poetry familiar, yet she achieves this without sacrificing the strength of her subversive moments. This book is a joy to read again and again.
