Know about the book -
All-Night Lingo Tango is written by Barbara Hamby and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0822990946 (ISBN 10) and 9780822990949 (ISBN 13).
This collection is a love letter to language with poems that are drunk and filled with references to the hyperkinetic world of the twenty-first century. 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.
