Publisher's Synopsis
Story-poems of friendship and wonder, loneliness and endurance, sexuality and unrequited longing, familial ties and the overriding relationship of the individual to nature, to landscape and animals, and the living earth.
Kate Barnes wrote wise and moving verse as Robert Creeley said, "of a deep and heartfelt clarity." She lived and wrote on a farm in Appleton, Maine and was the state's first Poet Laureate. These are poems that celebrate the ingredients of our humanity in poetry narratives that will stay with you through every season.
