State To State
By Kim Barke
In this second short collection of poems, Kim Barke takes us deep within her inner life. The effects of lovers on creativity and one's sense of self, and the wonder of nature as it relates to art are two of several themes considered and tossed about with philosophical salt. While contemplative and thick with feeling, these poems still retain an airiness that marked Barke's earlier work. Alongside the new poems are selected photographs that resonate, albeit obliquely, with the words.
