Publisher's Note
Dramatic and powerful, a collection of poems from the renowned author of Saints and Strangers details the opposition between religion and worldliness and order and disorder, and addresses the natural world, history, and inheritance.

The poems in BABYLON IN A JAR extend the forceful explorations that Andrew Hudgins began with SAINTS AND STRANGERS, his first book and a runner-up for the Pulitzer Prize in 1985. In this volume Hudgins's poems revel in the "either/or" in life, reducing specific conflicts to the old, all-encompassing one between order and disorder.

Industry Reviews
"'I saw how deep you have to go/ to get the surface right,' Hudgins has the naturalist Audubon say in defense of his practice of killing and dissecting wild birds in order to sketch them. The surfaces of Hudgins's poems--their quirky economy, the sheer music of his prosody--are so right because he goes so deep: Andrew Hudgins is my kind of fighting."
Washington Post Book World - Rita Dove (04/08/2001)

"This is Andrew Hudgins' fifth book of poems, and it breathes. This, I think, is why we bother to still read poetry: for the freshness and honesty Hudgins brings to his vivid narratives and for their poignant imagery, poems that move and live beyond the confines of the page.... Hudgins speaks to us, and he connects--sometimes softly, sometimes with a controlled and carefully calibrated rage, but he speaks our language and the poems succeed. "
