Honest Romance in the Poems of Wendy Barker
Among other things, WAY OF WHITENESS is an exquisite exploration of a middle-aged woman's vision of romantic love. This book--with its expert imagery, fine-tuned voice, perfect line breaks, and lush cadences--is especially insightful about the myriad shades of feeling and wonder that wave through consciousness, and just beneath. From the slightly comic metaphors of "Generation" to the riotous ...

No rage against the dying of light
Inheriting a famous family name means nothing unless the bearer of this burden strives to achieve things that are extra-ordinary. I salute & congratulate Saranindranath (Tagore) and the co-author Wendy Barker for taking up the immense challenge of translating Rabindranath's Final Poems. Authors successfully carry the sacred torch of translating Bengali Literature to reach out to the world body in ...

Tender Advice
Wendy Barker's POEM'S PROGRESS is exceptional in two ways. First, as professor of intro, advanced, and graduate level poetry writing, I find the book a remarkable teaching tool. Barker is a widely honored poet whose poems have appeared in too many journals to name, not to mention her three full-length collections (and counting). With ruthless honesty, she provides the published form of twenty ...

The House is Made of Poetry: The Art of Ruth Stone (Ad Feminam)

Southern Illinois University Press, 1996

Nice summary of poetic eminence
This text would be helpful to someone reviewing feminist literature or the career of National Book Award winner, Ruth Stone. It contains many vignettes of her influence on other women, as well as notes from friends like Willis Barnstone and the late Leslie Fiedler. The editing seems minimally intrusive; Stone speaks for herself, as do her students and colleagues.

Lunacy of Light: Emily Dickinson and the Experience of Metaphor
Wendy Barker

Southern Illinois University, 1987

"Are you afraid of the sun?" Emily Dickinson asked a friend in 1859. Wendy Barker states here that that apparently casual query reveals a major theme of Dickinson?s poetry, a theme she shares with women writers ranging from Anne Finch to Anne Sexton. It is a tradition based upon the inversion of the traditional male-centered metaphors of light and dark. Through time the light-giving sun has represented vitality, order, God; the ...
