Yet Zeus and Hera tangle with Leda on the interstate; Ava Gardner becomes a Hindu princess; and Shiva, the Destroyer, reigns over all. English is the primary god here, with its huge vocabulary and omnivorous gluttony for new words, yet the mystery of the alphabet is behind everything, a funky puppet master who can make a new world out of nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBarbara Hamby\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003eHoloholo\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBird Odyssey\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eOn the Street of Divine Love: New and Selected Poems\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eBurn\u003c\/i\u003e is her eighth book of poems.
