Love, Etc.: Poems of Love, Laughter, Longing & Loss (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780989854238)

"Poet L.L. Barkat is blessed with a talent for metaphor, an eye for the spare image that can shimmer like a polished gem, and a sensuous and lyrical voice - gifts she uses beautifully, even profoundly, in Love, Etc."

-Maureen Doallas, author of Neruda's Memoirs: Poems

Here's a blush rose,
with raspberry scent.

Here's a pink,
come taste the edge.

And here, my dear,
upon the stair,
is simply the hip
of a white-blue rose
I've carried up
to bed.
