“Each of [her] poems is flooded with light, color and sensory detail; they are the activity of an eye intent on seeing more of everything in the range of vision . . .”
–D.A. Powell, Shelley Memorial Award winning poet

 

Virginia Barrett‘s poems pulse with sensory details that make the strange world familiar and the familiar world strange. There’s clarity sustained by nuance, so when she looks, she sees and when she listens, she hears. Leaves and flowers, painters and paintings, rain and skies expand from their rich particularities to merge as one glittering whole, a “solar system disco ball.” I’ll dance to that!

–Aaron Shurin, author of:  Involuntary Lyrics (a Publishers Weekly Best Book 2005); and Citizen (2011).
