Winner of the 2006 Donald Hall Prize in Poetry Selected by Terrance Hayes
Winner of the 2008 Poetry Award from Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters
Angela Ball’s lyrical, wry, and rueful poems float on a river of incongruities on which we may find Ron Popeil, Lord Byron, and Rudyard Kipling sharing the same raft; they create a fascinating commerce between the sublime and the ridiculous.
