Story-poems of rural Maine, of neighbors, of seasons, and of life lived slowly and fully.Kate Barnes wrote wise and moving verse as Robert Creeley said, “of a deep and heartfelt clarity.” She lived and wrote on a farm in Appleton, Maine and was the state’s first Poet Laureate. Her poems contain wisdom gently imparted as life lessons. You’ll feel a sense of connection from her work – a connection with the past, with the earth, with her friends, and with the human condition superbly defined.
