Abby Luby's debut chap book Humming Beneath the Mist, is a collection of poems celebrating memory, fantasy and culinary joys. Luby's work offers a remarkable undercurrent of tonality slipping both noticeably and imperceptibly into the reader's subconscious; 'the saxophone steam rises, ' 'radiating from your core a lush vibrato, ' or 'how the blues soothe the back of the eyelids.'
Sudden lust in a kitchen, found and lost loves, ekphrastic reflections and a nod to climate science are just some of Luby's inspirations among her 28 short poems in the chap book.
