Musca Domestica

Musca Domestica

Musca Domestica is the common housefly. And housefly is exactly the right metaphor for this poet: from the ordinary things of life--illegible postcards, a view of a hillside wind turbine, and the quiet day spent a home--Christine Hume's poems take flight into a realm of dizzying invention and abundance. This is poetry that rewards the reader's efforts with riches.
