These diverse poems of past and present, of order and disorder, press on with the forceful explorations that Andrew Hudgins began with his first book, Saints and Strangers, a runner-up for the Pulitzer Prize in 1985. Since then, his poetry has probed the nature of Southern experience and the conflict between religion and worldliness, and searched out the origins of poetry and the exaltations and perils of family life. In Babylon in a Jar Hudgins brings a great many issues down to the old conflict between order and disorder.
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.
