'A sweet waggery that suggests there's almost no problem that can't be solved by this poet's gentle humor.' Heather McHugh's most recent book of poems is Upgraded to Serious. 'She's practically playing with her words as she writes them down. 'Joycean' is a word that comes to mind," wrote Robert Hass. She's “a poet for whom wit is a form of spiritual survival.'
