Lyrical beauty and power, imposing metaphor, and thought both deep and
precise are hallmarks of Kelly Cherry's poetry, on view in Hazard and
Prospect: New and Selected Poems. With a dazzling mastery and range of
tone, technique, form, and ideas, Cherry presents a lifetime of powerful
writing that coheres into a single, seamless work. In it she responds
to the natural world, to philosophical dilemmas, to spiritual longing,
to political, ethical, and aesthetic questions, and, most powerfully, to
love and loss. She shows us in sometimes searing poems where the
hazards lie, and in transcendent verse a new, bright prospect, a "green
place" on a farm in Virginia where time slows and holds and happiness
abides.

Ava has invested everything in her long-running affair with Tony, a handsome doctor from Chicago, though lately, things have not been quite right. Then Tony telephones Ava to tell her that yes, there is someone else, and that his new love, Claire, is the beautiful art-historian wife of a movie producer whom he had been seeing for two months. But, he assures Ava, of course, he cares for her, and they can still be friends.
Ava is furious. This was the relationship that was supposed to lead to marriage, or at least a child. She decides that she is owed a baby, and that she is going to collect, if not from Tony then from Claire's husband, Boyd. By permitting Claire's affair, he is to blame for Ava's loss. And Ava flies out to Los Angeles to tell him so.
But what happens changes everything, for Ava, Tony, Claire and Boyd. This is a witty and whimsical take on the age old adage, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."
