In THE SLIDING BOAT OUR BODIES MADE, we see the ecology of compassion and hopefulness, a fragile latticework made of the concern for how all things might fall away in a world seeming to be too full of loss. With a meticulousness like the Zen of poets in ancient China, Barber takes us to a place where we can believe there will always be a chance to breathe, even as we feel the terror of life in the beauty of its most minute details. These are finely crafted poems with turns on the torso of history and the times in which we live as if those things are a single tree of life, and they are. Barber teaches us how to know subtlety, how it can bring a fullness to us, a light without limits.--Afaa M. Weaver No ones being watched/though watchfulness remains in Barbers most accomplished collection, because an intimate watchfulness births these exquisite poems. Their omniscient power blazons any corner of consciousness so that A tree rubs a cloud between its fingers, a seedpod answers a questionnaire, a creation myth breathes anew, and a museum goers intent gaze at a paintings three oranges causes them to glow like coals in you. Her elegant, steely, and elegiac prowess brings to the present a 1412 Spanish court order to segregate the Jews from the Christians as well as a memory of her daughter--at present heading out to her boyfriends--as a toddler first standing at the center of the world. Ultimately watchful of loves relationship to both loss and beauty, Barbers concomitant revelations remain aglow in us. --Jessica GreenbaumPoetry. Jewish Studies.
