Her work might best be called by the emergent term "ellipticist," in that its verbal fugues circle around a stable subjectivity and elevated lyricism, here offering funny and baroque recastings of identity's misfirings.
The Barnard New Women Poets Prize was awarded to this first collection of enormously imaginative poems written by the winner of a recent fellowship from the Fine Arts Work Center and a grant from the Colorado Council on the Arts.
From the deceptively simple title (musca domestica is Latin for housefly) to the poems focusing on such philosophically sophisticated subjects as the meaning of meaning, everyday life is presented as we rarely consider it—skewed and in language and syntax designed to please linguists more than ordinary readers.

 Review: Musca Domestica, Assembling the Shepherd
Hume quotes Marinetti, impresario of Futurism, in the epigraph of "Interview" ("This is a beautiful world, it means what I say"), and Rumsey paraphrases him at length in "Man-Torpedo-Boat." They both compare technology to poetics, and both use analogy to dislocate objects and alter their traditional function.
Hume and Rumsey are philosophical poets who are also very much writers of this place and time: like many other well published and educated young poets now, they have found it necessary to reach philosophical decisions regarding narrative and narrator, voice and text.
In the center of Musca Domestica, in homage to Emily Dickinson, is a variorum: six poems in triplets with variants printed at the foot of the page.
