Publisher's Synopsis
Weave: New and Selected Poems showcases poems from Barker's long career that includes selections from her seven previous full-length collections, as well as new work. The collection features a wide range of subjects and themes, notable among them the poet's perspectives as an educator (especially in the very real-world concerns of the urban English classroom), surprises and wonders in her family's past and present, and the hope, fear, and trenchant wit with which she sees the world around us.
