From Sheep Meadow Press

For Aliki Barnstone, poetry seems a natural medium. The vision and cadences of these poems suggest a sensibility for which poetry is as inevitable and necessary as breathing or eating . . . pleasure, wonder, anger, and moral passion are here, and the imagination can write a poem called 'Love Poem' and make it fresh.
