Synopsis
From the philosophical to the spiritual, Barker's poems exhibit a remarkable levity and profundity. This selection includes Lyrics, Narratives, Adaptations, Incantations, and Love Poems of a daring complexity and insight - at once swift and clear, the next moment ripe with allusion. "Shockwaves" (for Robert Nye) - green and gracious Greece, in early May I saw you young and walking on your way Tender with flowers, taunting me in bars I slipped between, detoxified, to be The human philosophical vision Of the blue sanctuary of the sea And the iconostasis of the stars.
