Julia Hungry

By Hannah Louise Poston

Winner of the 18th annual Anthony Hecht Poetry Prize.

JULIA HUNGRY is a communion and reckoning with form--a female poet's apprenticeship to the male-dominated canon of twentieth century verse, part love-affair and part fencing match with its forebears. Inherited forms are intact almost to a fault but flooded with femininity as if in an attempt to rinse them out; in kind, the poems are laced with uneasy domesticity--a current of tension which begins inside the home and expands over the course of the book, eventually reaching a global scale. There, fully haunted by the music of the past, JULIA HUNGRY peers into the future, asking questions about reclamation and survival.
