The concatenation of images released include Elvis and Tolstoy cruising through the sky in a pink Cadillac, Homer and Robert Johnson discussing their art in the Underworld, and the women in The Odyssey telling their side of the story, because what's a woman to do in this world of men? She has to strike out on her own, ask the right questions, and tell her own story, translating the world into her own bright lie. 410 0$aPitt poetry series. 606 $aAmerican poetry 608 $aPoetry. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican poetry. 676 $a811.54 676 $a811.54 700 $aHamby$b Barbara$f1952-$01603066 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813547203321 996 $aBird Odyssey$94060068 997 $aUNINA
