Part of the book review for "Between Frames"


            This collection of poems does not stand out against any other divorce-subject-repairing-what’s-broken-to-begin-again cliché of the middle aged woman’s journal entry poetry.  Recurring themes like divorce, making cornbread, and going to the movies are all ordinary and uninteresting topics.  Granted, Barker does make cornmeal muffins sound very intriguing.  Like in the poem, “De Nada” the reader sees both “yellowing in the park” and “yellowed waves”.  I get bored reading two different adjectives only to describe nature.  Barker’s voice is not distinct enough to put herself aside from other nature poets.

A Photo of a Photo

Harold Lloyd looks so handsome
and cute at the same time.
Isn't it that I like him- he is
dead. GQ just has a knack
for the good looking. I also
have a habit at un-cautiously staring.
