These diverse poems of past and present, of order and disorder, press on with the forceful explorations that Andrew Hudgins began with his first book, Saints and Strangers, a runner-up for the Pulitzer Prize in 1985. Since then, his poetry has probed the nature of Southern experience and the conflict between religion and worldliness, and searched out the origins of poetry and the exaltations and perils of family life.
In Babylon in a Jar Hudgins brings a great many issues down to the old conflict between order and disorder.

First Sentence
"I couldn't stand still watching them forever, but when I moved the grackles covering each branch and twig sprang together into flight and for a moment in midair they held the tree's shape, the black tree peeling from the green, as if they were its shadow or its soul, before they scattered, circled and re-formed as grackles heading south for winter grain fields."
