Live from the Homesick Jamboree (Wesleyan Poetry Series)
“In long-lined, energetic poems that focus on her dysfunctional family, is angry with everyone, including herself, but still manages to have a good time. … Lively and readable, this new work artfully captures the problems that accompany unskilled parenthood and divorce.”—Ellen Kaufman, Library Journal"Like Hart Crane, she forces disparate elements into the same space, crafting contradictory structures that complement a poet so desperately in love, and in hate, with her world and herself."—Abigail Deutsch, Poetry magazine“A genuine tale of sorrow and celebration, Live from the Homesick Jamboree is masterful and riveting to the last line.  Replete with imagery that is not only breathtaking but unmistakably real, this collection stands as Adrian Blevins’s most haunting work yet.” —Tawnysha Green, Southern Humanities Review
