Hunger

"These practiced, wonderfully grounded poems display considerable range and a natural voice in a world quietly alive with metaphor. Haskins has a fascinating touch, an oblique, quick approach that makes her work unique. She has an incisive eye for a world which is alive with things felt and seen. Hunger shows us through this powerful gift how hunger of the soul feels, what drives us frantically toward love, what makes us paint, write poems, even die, yet what makes us live. The poems center in our time, but even in the sections of the book which reach into the past the poet's gift for immediacy recreates a whole mysterious and sweet."--Jacket.
